"dunking" fabric pots in solution for feeding?

I have recently been presented with the concept of "dipping": submerging fabric pot in solution for about 8 seconds and then picking up to drain. It is intriguing to me but I am curious about it causing overwatering or root rot. Thoughts?

It's like feeding from the bottom when drying out the top to get rid of gnats. They suggest to just do it with water. Not nutrients. Now. I'm not saying it wouldn't work. But, it'll have issues. And you'll have to end up feeding from the top to fix it. And keeping that material wet all the time. Would cause rot for sure. And, another reason, why would you won't to cause yourself the hassle. As I said. You'll have to feed the top, jst to get up fixing issues. Good growing. And through a fabric pot..hmmm.. it wouldn't surprise me. If some nutrients markers would be distributed. And, it would show up as overfeeding, manly yellowing on the outside of your leafs.

If you're interested in this concept you're going to love autopots, save yourself all the labor and hassle and just let gravity do the work for ya, add a air dome and you're off to the races...Autopots are by far the most user friendly system and you can mix your nutirents directly in the reservoir and let them feed whenever they want, just keep the ph in check and the VPD and you're going to have some beautiful plants,.check out my diary and see for yourself they're definitely the easiest system I've ever used

diciamo che si puo' fare ma come dici tu bisogna stare attenti al marciume radicale un po' di tempo fa' ,sperimentando,ho lasciato asciugare il terreno al limite e ho irrigato l'acqua è scivolata sulla terra e uscita subito quindi ho utilizzato l'immersione per irrigarla totalmente ,non ho avuto problemi ma io preferisco e consiglio un irrigazione classica..
