I have grown in that exact pot. Real tall, so the top goes dry as a bone, but bottom stays wet, especially if the root zone is cool.

If your pot is proper dry, and you start to water with quick runoff, your soil is resisting the water. Water one quart slowly wetting the surface of the of the soil. Walk away for 15 minutes allowing the soil to slowly impregnate, come back and do another quart, wait 5 mins or so, and another quart, and so on, til you see runoff. Add some yucca to your irri and fertigations to combat the hydrophbia, and get good air circ hitting your soil under the canopy.

also, know ph and ppms of your soil.

No shit, thats because its overwatered. If you let it dry proper it will take about 1.5 gal each watering. Weigh it wet and weigh it everyday. Don't water again untill it loses 10-12 pounds.

Because you have wet and dry pockets. That's the problem. Saturate the whole thing slowly and completely then weigh it.
