50l soil drying too fast

[2cent]

I have trees in 50l pot in veg overgrown
I’m going to cut them down at the top a bit and add more soil I think

the soil is just root balls in fab pots there hungry as hell

I water 5litres a plant by the morning there bone fucking dry what can I do lol they want a constant tap

Water twice a day?

Also, are you sure that you are saturating the soil or is it hydrophobic and just allowing the water to drain off without actual saturation?

What is your plan with these plants? Have you considered cloning and starting over?

Alternatively, you could remove like half the above-ground growth and half the root ball, then replant in fresh soil in the same pots, and they would probably love it...

I hate big plants so that’s what I would do.

But you could also transplant into a large rubber made type 25 gallon tote or something. Big plastic container to try to finish a big girl.
I hate fabric pots for soil. Never seem to perform the same as a rigid planter until you get to the 25 gallon and over sizes

Approximately 1.25 gallon in a 13 gallon pot is grossly under watered
I would double that and see how it goes
Slow watering is important to get proper saturation
Slow down
Water each pot like you have been doing then go thru and do it again

I love big plants and fabric pots......and automated watering systems.

I put 4l to 5l in 5 gallon fabric pot and they drink the runnof in 1 or 2 hours thats saturated !

So if you have 12 gallon pot you should be able water at least 10litre . Then they might be able to go 1 more day

Peace.

Dude 5 liters a day?! Do you have the fans blowing on the soil? What about high temps and low humidity prob? Looking good nonetheless.
In the 7gal i use sphagnum compost with 2-3 inches straw mulch and i forget to water. Day 35 of the plant i water a liter once in 14 days! And thats with an extra gal of perlite in the mix ratio.
