More soak for more runoff for bigger pots?
TheBonnieRobinstarted grow question 4 years ago
I'm watering with 2l of RO/nutes every 48-72 hours, depending on moisture of soil. Estimate about 10-15% of this is runoff. I notice vigorous growth almost immediately after watering but then little more until after the next feed. Is this normal or should I be soaking heavier?

With a 20 liter pot size I'd say go with a 3.5-4 liter nutrient rich irrigation every 2-3 days or when the top 5cm of the medium is dry!
Make sure there is at least 20-30% runoff (more wont hurt), check the runoff for pH and salinity (EC) to get a good idea of your soil fertility and acidity to quickly fix issues before any serious damage is done or to prevent them from happening.
Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)

Hi. Is it worth putting my 5 in plastic pots into their fabric pots ?? After all the advice I’m going to try doing one day where I feed them, next day light watering, 3rd day, water to run off then start again. Strange because when I didn’t feed for 3 days, they came on betterWeek 5
