sorry, totally forgot we already discussed horizontal vs vertical. you know how stoner memory goes...
I dont have any holes in the bottom of the pot because i didnt want any water to spill anywhere in the box. Does anyone know why it is the white widow is so much smaller than the sour desiel when they have gotten the same light the same water the same soil?
so you have no way for the pots to drain? that's not good... drill some holes in the bottom of your pot and put it on some sort of tray to catch the runoff.
I will probably do that tonight, though i have been very careful not to water so much that it accumulates on the bottom of the pot. I stick my finger all the way too the bottom and it is moist not wet but i do see the advantages of holes in the bottom with a tray to catch run off.
having a lil water in the runoff tray is not bad. Most of the time the plants will end up reabsorbing the water from there, bottom up. it'll help keep them from drying out so quick. granted, if you end up having puddles of runoff and the top of the soil is still dry, something is not right. When i water my plants (i have huge 3.5 gallon pots) it takes a lil more than 1/2 g per pot and ends up with about 1/2" of runoff 30 mins later. A day later this will be a minuscule puddle and by the time i have to water again the runoff is gone.
Just like a 3rd graders parent i cant help but worry about my babies... i think i just needed someone to tell me it was going to be ok lol
don't be that annoying overprotective parent!
being that this is a pot forum.. you prolly dont
I never really thought about the roots messing with one another, i guess i will be heading to my local DIY store to figure something out tomorrow.
They are the intake on the bottom and the exhaust at the time they have 6" holes dilled behind them which go into the light trap behind them on the back door ( its not the front that opens )
