I have heard the fabric pots are getting dry faster and the idea of supersoil is to keep the soil wet all the time, so which pot is better ?Fabric or Plastic?
I wraped the plastic around the fobrics pots and on top aswell is it okey for this grow.I grow in plastic pots with big drainage holes. I've tried the fabric pots and didn't like them as much.
I use a air pressured sprayer and use it on lowest stream setting, it takes about 15 mins to water in a gallon of water and I keep checking bottom of pot for moisture as i water, I keep watering until i feel slight dripping at bottom of pot and then stop. Fully saturated and minimal runoff. No mess at all what so ever in the tent aside from the mess I make and leave due to laziness. None of which is caused by runoff.Fabric has advantage for air circulation but they are much more work to keep runoff cleaned up when growing indoors. One point about living soil is you want minimal runoff.

Do we need to have runoff for super soil?I have heard you dont need run off.I use a air pressured sprayer and use it on lowest stream setting, it takes about 15 mins to water in a gallon of water and I keep checking bottom of pot for moisture as i water, I keep watering until i feel slight dripping at bottom of pot and then stop.

Super soil is a living soil and runoff should be kept to a minimum. Your wrapping plastic around those fabric pots defeats the purpose of using a fabric pot. Not a good idea and may lead to problems down stream.Do we need to have runoff for super soil?I have heard you dont need run off.
I suggest a small drip at bottom to ensure full saturation. Water slowly and be patient.Do we need to have runoff for super soil?I have heard you dont need run off.
I have put layer of clay pebbles at bottom of the pot also didnt cover the under with anythink only around the potSuper soil is a living soil and runoff should be kept to a minimum.

My favorite is the square nursery pots. IDK why they just seem to work better than round. I just can't keep bugs from coming in through the bottom.Plastic. You spray it with bleach and hit it with the hose. And it's ready to reuse. You can stack like 50 of them in a stack. They're easy to move around. There is a reason nurseries use them.
Same. If you pack the corners with DE the can't pass. But yeah square boys are the easiest. Seem to break less too. Pick a heavy one up with one finger and it might crack. But other than that they're solid.My favorite is the square nursery pots. IDK why they just seem to work better than round. I just can't keep bugs from coming in through the bottom.
The roots grow better in the fabric over plastic. In plastic the roots run down the sides and around the bottoms and few of the roots penetrate to the middle of the soil. I harvested a 2 month vegged Tangy99 and I pulled the pot to re-use..no roots to be seen.....They are using all of the soil.....I like thatSame. If you pack the corners with DE the can't pass.

Something went wrong. Usually a finished pot is full of roots. What happened?The roots grow better in the fabric over plastic.
