The fabric pot would have to be in a pot that could hold at least some water in a basin - don't want a puddle so, what doesn't wick up into pot you'd have to remove.
You also have to deal with evaporation over time. Something ~20% runoff takes care of.
I have a setup that basically bottom feeds like a hempy, but with a res for about 1/2 gallon that's oxygenated with an airstone. No light gets to it etc... small enough that the plant drinks it down quickly to avoid buildup a bit. Before bloom i have to add a dose of pH-only occasionally (coco). This accounts for concentration due to evaporation. By bloom, it drinks it down so fast it doesn't matter.

It's a great way to water. Helps reduce things like fungus gnats or mold and mildew on soil surface. But make sure it still has a good dry cycle. Don't want it just sitting In standing water over and over. Hopefully this helps! Happy Growing 🤟😜

Spiruline fertilizerJust wondering if anybody here has experience in using Spiruline as source of food for the plants?
It is an algae with lots of nutrients and beneficial stuff and I am trying to use it for my plant but perhaps I am doing something wrong/useless.
Any experience to share?Feeding. Other

Springtails in Waste water CoCoHi all, I have just watered my almost 3 week old plants, they are in coco, and I collect the waste water to measure my PH values. To my great surprise I saw something moving in my waste water (see photo).
I did some searching on the internet and found that they are springtails.

Water uptake slowed considerably. D83 DWC Auto.Water uptake has slowed considerably this last week. From what I understand this is expected as she finishes her life cycle. Should I continue res changes at full strength or lower the nute ratio to match her uptake? Trichs are still clear/cloudy with little amber.

Flushing timingHow many weeks do u think flowering before flushing? I want to flush for at least 2-3 weeks.
When I did my purple lemonade and one of my lemon pie auto’s and you get a nice fade. It’s hard to know when to stop nutes and start plain water. I was thinking 3 weeks nutes + 2 water.

WateringHi guys, I would like to ask, in the seedling phase the plant does not have a big root system so I'm just giving it 80 ml per day and because it's very hot the surface dry really quick so I'm watering every day. Should I give it more to avoid watering every day?Week 1
