Think I’ve had an issue with drainage this whole run. Every time I water they seem to be thirsty after a day or two. Water is settling in middle of the pot I think. Zero water reaches the bottom of the fabric pot. Leaves seem droopy all the time even after tea brews and feeding. I stuck the soil meter to the bottom of the pot and it’s bone dry even after watering. Anyone agree that may very well be causing the leaves to droop? I can post a video of the soil meter if needed. It goes from wet to zero quickly



Edit *****
The soil is wet in random spots but the bottom is bone dry. I can’t water again bc the pot is wet in certain spots above it

Classic Fight right there.
When Gary Goodrich grapple homie to a crucifix and rained elbows in dudes face i was hooked. UFC 1.
Tank abbott was fucking rad too.

Me and my buddy used to rent the VHSs of past fights! Abbot was my favorite!! For the next fight we have a city cop and a truck driver! Hahaha! That shit was awesome!

I use rice hulls in my soil , I mix a bunch in. Might help

Try to bottom water the next time you water it might take a while and be more labor intensive but it’s the best way to ensure that the saturation is even. After ten minutes anything that wasn’t absorbed can be collected and run through the top. If you don’t get any run off when you top water, water it until you do.

Sounds like the soil is becoming hydrophobic. Ive never tried rice hulls but Ive used a wood skewer to poke some holes in it and that helped

Im thinking about adding these to the tops of my soil.

Sounds like you're watering too quickly. When I'm running only a couple of plants I like to use a 2 liter water bottle with holes poked in the lid to water the plants. In a 7 gal cloth pot I'll sprinkle about a 1/4 liter over the entire surface and let it soak in for a few minutes. I water in another 1/2 liter and wait a few minutes more to allow capillary action to do its thing. If water starts coming out the side of the bag I'm watering too much at one time and I'll back off the amount and give it a little longer to soak into the soil. I continue watering a 1/2 liter at a time until I see runoff.

Another way to improve media saturation would be to use Matrix plates and pads from FloraFlex. I use these on my automated system and they work great. I also used them for hand watering and got the same even saturation all the way down to the bottom of the pot

BTW IMO, soil meters are junk. They are only relevant to the couple inches around the probe. The only way I've seen soil meters actually work the way they should is to use multiple meters stuck through the side of the bag at different soil levels. As was mentioned, dry spot readings will give you false dry readings and raise the chances of overwatering. Light pot method has been the most reliable IMO.

Your grow is looking like my grow back home. Just keeps getting bigger and bigger and more plants

Appreciate everyone’s replies. I will use all that on this next run!
