i find that when i water slow and steady and give the dirt a chance to actualy absorb the water it goes off without a hitch. i do a half gal at a time when neccesary. the more dry that my 3.4 gallon airpot is the slower i pour. i actualylplan on manufactuaring ( more like rigging) a screen condom for my air pot to wrap around the outside to avoid dirt loss or atleast minimize it. im sick of blowing dirt out of those holes the moment i pick it up or water it. the screen material has good airflow ( obviously) but will hold in the larger pieces of dirt. water slow and screendom it.
thats how i do things. hope that helps at least someonne..
ill take you up on that rolled fatty :smokebuds:

This is my second grow with airpots and at first I too have this problem but on my last grow when the girls got a little bigger I added a little mix to bring it up a little after the soil settles.After a few waterings the soilfills the holes better and if you go slow at first you won't lose much water:booya:

That does make sense Namvet, I didnt fill the pots high enough and burried the plants too deep

Do you think it's worth using airpots in the future?

Just to add, I started in 1 ltr and transfered to 10ltr after sex

Iv switched to fabric smart pots for this years outdoor grow mate,they give the same air pruning principle as airpots..my airpots were drying out in 1 or 2 days when it was hot and with me working outa town it was a pain.iv found the smart pots dont dry iut as quick mate and i prefer the smart pots for out in the polytunnel and airpots indoors in my tent :smokebuds:
