Not watered for a week. Why does the soil not dry even from above?
Four fabric pots of 27 liters. Below is drainage from vermiculite, above is a layer of coconut, above is soil from peat, humus, sand and perlite, purchased. In the upper layer, perlite is twice as large.

How many and how large plants in a 4x2 tent for a quick veg/flowering?
How many plants could I have in a 4x2 tent? I would like to reduce veg and flowering time, so would that mean I should go for more plants? I've got 3x 11 liter / 3 gallon Gronest fabric pots and can get more pots. Also, are the nutrients noted in the grow suitable for coco?

Alternatives to Gaia Green dry amendments in Europe?
I'd like to try slow-release dry amendments for my next grow. Mr. Canucks on Youtube uses Gaia Green for this, but unfortunately this brand is not available in Europe. The only equivalent I can find is livingsoilsfertiliser.com. Has anyone tried them or can suggest another brand?

10g pots a good idea?
I am using 10 gallon pots on this grow with a mix of soils including some from the chicken coop (aged). As a new grower I see a lot of advice to go smaller. To me larger systems are more stable, am I off?

Optimal pH for solution, when growing in 70% Promix BX, 30% perlite.
I'm having trouble finding reliable info regarding what to pH my nute solution to, I read that some like to look at it as hydro (technically soilless), and others view it as soil (due to being preloaded). So 5.5 - 6 or 6 - 6.5? HELP have done full grow using 5.5-6, peep the grow.

Chicken Poop
We have chickens and ducks which provide all kinds of poop. I have a pile I use to age it for about a year. It is a mix of poo, oyster shell and broken down leaf mulch. I am not sure exactly what it adds as for as nutrients. Does anyone have a guess?
