Does Wicking Work with Weed?

Just a peice of cloth from bottom of the pot up and looped down to the reservoir. The wick will suck up the water on its own with no help. Yes it works well for starter but wouldn't say it's very effective after. From look at your design will need wick extended to the bottom of the pot.

Pssst....if ya want a more hands off style of growing try DWC instead of a wicking system in general. Cheap to build your own buckets and very effective, and aside from changing the water in the buckets weekly and checking your ph values every day or two it’s pretty hands off. And you don’t have to deal with soil...lol cheers💨

I’m with @ORGANOMAN , I think what you sketched out there with the landscaping fabric being the only divider between the water in the reservoir and the growing medium will definitely keep your growing medium way too wet. I see what the first grower is saying too about how his fabric plants wick it up really quick, which is very true in my experience as well, but I wouldn’t want my fabric pot sitting in water 24/7, sounds like a sure way to drown them. You need more of a wicking system to restrict the flow of water from your reservoir to your grow medium better some how in my opinion. Cheers💨

While being popular with lazy people growing vegetables, I believe that it will keep the substrate (soil/coco etc) too wet for optimal cannabis growth and could possibly lead to fungal problems or especially when your plants are flowering, to mould problems in your flowers due to excessive humidity. This is only my opinion, others may have other ideas, but I would suggest to keep growing "hands on" and leave the wicking bed to busy office workers who can't be bothered watering their gardens. Hope this helps,..... Organoman.

It is quite possible I think. I have not used a system like this but I use 5Gal fabric pots and after I top water I can water from the bottom and watch the soil/plant? suck the water right out of the dish till its dry.
