Pot size recommendations
Mr_Death_himself
started grow question 5y ago
G'day. This is not related to my current grow. Best sized pots to fit inside a 1mx1m tent? I want three pots, & I'll need to move them in and out if i have to. Is there a recommended amount of soil per square meter ratio?

20 litre pots should do just fine. I would probably use four - one in each corner.

Will an air stone in reservoir of water under a fabric pot filled with soil contribute anything?
Soil based grow. 3 gallon fabric pot placed in a 5 gallon bucket, with holes drilled out the bottom. The 5 gallon has a reservoir below it. Can I throw an air stone in the reservoir w/ h20 and pump more air to increase oxygen or will the soil not benefit because it’s a hydro grow

Can one use Organic nutrients + microbes when growing in Coco? I have two full bottles of Alga and Bloom and don't want to toss them. My tapwater is hard enough (now with proper pic) so Ca shouldn't be a problem 😂 What would be the advantages vs disadvantages?

Why aren't my plants growing? They've been germinating for ten days, but so far they've only developed 2 leaves and 2 are just starting to sprout. The water I give them is measured based on their dry weight. The substrate isn't very draining, could that be the issue?
