Indoor Airpots & Watering -- How do you water your airpots ?

[Loud Pipes]

and for the next cat skinning....ok i do this guys. i fill it with my soil very dry and loose and by the way my mix is 50% perlite. the root explode thru it, but back to the pot. i fill it with dry mix all the way to they top, and then i pick it up and bounce it on the ground to shake the soil into the egg carten looking sides and then i top off the pot and do it again. when it is full i water it with my can and 2 gallons of water with molasses in it. then i let it dry out one time, or close but not to kill my bacteria i grew with the molasses. hope it helps again guys. i like how these and all pots fill with dry soil. you cant over pack it when its dry i promise. and roots love unpacked soiless medias..... when it is watered it will always drop more and need topped of, but i dont till i plant the plant .......cb420

Non harmfull to the plant

I've been using Airpots for years now.
I use an old camelback hydration reservoir to water my plants.
Easy to control the flow as well, I know I'm watering/feeding 2 liters at a time.
Airpots will teach you one thing...Patience
Your plants will love you for choosing Airpots.
Good luck with your grow!

absolutly brother. i wouldnt grow a plant with out a ton in there....thats the army that protects your plant tooo...... actually this is the real deal... roots dont eat food and we never feed plants. the microbs in the soil act like the enzymes in your stomach and they break down the food and give the plants something they can eat..........our little mama birds. for real friend, old people in the farming community i am from say you feed the soil not the plant. hope that helps , .....are those the ones you were speaking of friend.?......cb420

i use a brand called extreme gardening at a rate of 1 tbs per planting hole and the molasses feeds them by my understanding and the molasses has a ton of micro nutes and -p-...cb420

 

[CB420]

black-strap being the highest amount of micro-nutes and sugar-beet molasses is a very close second.....cb420

I use molasses in every watering I do. I just warm a couple of cups of the water I'm going to use in the microwave and dissolve the molasses in that and then mix in the rest of the water. I can understand why the plants and compost like it. I like the stuff myself. I could easily eat a bowl of it just a finger dip at a time

Hey Ronin,

The overall consensus so far seems to be slow and steady does the job with airpots....... :gthumb:

Hey CB,

I use biobizz grow and from talking to those guys there is a large amount sugar beet molasses in that stuff... is is serious thick stuff, reminds me of thick bleach but brown.... or bad dose the shits after weekend of partyn... :smokebuds:

You caught my interest more with adding some molasses before plants go inn to have max microbes present in soil, which biobizz kept telling is extremely important for good working soil.... :gthumb:

It would be better to add some molasses to boost soil before plants go inn, with no NPK i can see how its help with young plants to avoid nutrient shock but have the soil working at best capacity....

Mycorhizal Fungi are a latest craze in gardening after there was a break through discovery by some dudes (Scientists) that the fungus is not actualy leeching of the plants and rather they have a simbiotic relationship ....
The fungus spreads much further than the plants roots ever could and helps in absorption of nutrients and water..... could be great benefit for outdoor growers.. not sure about indoor but could always be tested....

I seen ye can buy them ready to use in garden centre or combined with stuff like bonemeal....
