When to use wick system

GeminiCQCstarted grow question 1y ago
I was hoping to wait until the end of this week to use the self watering bases since the plant looks old enough, and I don't want to over do it. Should I set it up after I too dress with recharge again, or will beginning of week 5 work?

I feel you need to wait till the plant has explored all the medium before going to self watering. If the roots are not fully explored I feel wet spots will be an issue and areas of the pot will become rancid with no wet dry cycle. I have only done self watering outdoors and the pots went through a proper wet and dry cycle. if they stayed wet all the time they has issues. Good Luck!

Wicks are asking for a buildup in the substrate.. gonna need extra maintenance to maintain proper EC over time. plenty of people make them work, but requires extra work to mitigate the drawbacks.
