First, I hope this is an okay place to post this...I haven't been on here in over 1.5yrs and all this tomato eating affects my memory.;)...Okay so for all my fellow growers utilizing Air-Pots in their indoor grow rooms, do you use any cover crop aka living mulch....Or any regular types of mulch? ie; straw, cacao shells, wood chips??
I have been using Air-Pots for a while now but since I had to to takeover a year off of growing canna, most of my experience is with potted flowers such as a bunch of different types of Hoya's and a beautiful Epiphillyum. And neither of those or any of the other plants I've used them for were very heavy drinkers/feeders....NOTHING like cannabis! Anyway so I'm doing my first indoor run since I had to stop and got some lil ones in veg, hoping to start a perpetual harvest but we'll see how it goes. I'm getting off track..even with the small size of the plants now they are SUCKING down the water/food and drying out quickly. I have a Blu-Mat system I could utilize but I really enjoy hand watering and all the contact time I have with each plant to really learn it and record and pertinent information. That being said I'd rather the pots not dry out earlier than 24hrs...Preferably not even for 2 days but I guess I won't be greedy!! LoL..Anyway I have, for a very brief period, tried straw and had mixed results but I think this time I am going to try a "living mulch" and use BAS's 12 seed cover crop mix I happen to have left over from using them on my outdoor crops! I was hoping some fellow growers might have some insight or experience with any of this??? Anybody???? LoL...Feel free to chime in with any info/questions/general ideas...Mi thread e' su thread!!
