Here’s a thought

So I have two autos in 3 gal fabric pots and one in a plastic the one in plastic seems to be doing a hell of a lot better ...do you think I could be under watering the fabric pots seeing how I have only have to water the Plastic every four days compared to fabrics I do every three ..soil is always dry around the outer edges but get more moist as I go towards stem ...I stuck a moisture meter in the bottom of the plastic pot and it read good the fabric pots between 5/6 soil is six year old horse manure /compost

When I think about it, the cloth pots really drain water and pass air through every fabric of their being. So yeah, I would not be the least bit surprised if you had to water more often with them.

That’s what I’m saying you think it would stunt the growth that much but wouldn’t it show more signs of stress Have pics if it would conclude a answer

I've only been growing on and off for a few years. I'm kind of a novice. But, I am sure if you posted the photos, it would help people determine the root cause (even if that doesn't end up being me).

water by weight, you need to lift those pots up and compare to the same container with the same media but dry. It's not so important later on when the roots have filled out, but it can help if you aren't sure when to water.

I haven’t been able to use a fabric pot to it’s fullest potential because the outside always gets too dry, and I would have to overwater to compensate. It drys too quickly in my climate. Maybe I’m a very humid climate it would be more beneficial

Overwatering is watering too often, not too much.

Overwatering is watering too often, not too much.

I think that would depend on the plant. Not all plants can be watered to runoff, you know.

Which ones can't?

The plant in plastic could simply be a more vigorous pheno. Just sayin'.

No just no

That’s what I’m thinking she got topped way early because she was “the biggun “

I think he meant like when it’s a seedling lol benefit of the doubt

Is your plant a seedling? A photo would help.

 

[Rabeats2093]

Not they’re not posted one in the thread !

That plant is in no danger from watering to runoff.

But do you see this comparative size difference compared to fabric and plastic maybe more watering to the fabrics or like mentioned more aggressive pheno

 

[MAGpie81]

Which ones can't?

Plants in soil with heavy clay and/or peat. It ends up retaining and the roots can rot by the time it dries out.
People will say- well don’t plant in such soil, but a lot of people wouldn’t know better and their plants might not survive a transplant.

Maybe *in* a more humid climate it would be more beneficial
