Added ac infinity self watering system for fabric pots! Mixed with living soil it’s going to force the roots to grow deeper and expand further into the planters. Creating bigger buds and allowing them to really get all the nutrients available in the living soil

I was thinking the same, but saw elsewhere people had problems with build up of film in base. Was thinking if I let them dry some that should help. That would also allow me to top dress if need be or give teas in between dry cycles on the base. But not to dry as its living soil.

I could see if you were using a nutrient solution you could build up some stuff but I went water only and did not do it for runoff

Of algae. And yeah could definitely see if you were using nutes how things could gunk up.

Ah crap will have to watch that! I have 4 but only use 3 so I’ll check in a few weeks. The plants seem to thrive and soak up the water quite fast . Half a gallon only last 2 days

Since I added them last week, mine seem to love it as well!

I’m only on day 35 and 42 from sprout in 3 gals, and they are going on day 5 since filled. I watered them in first then filled the bases. Going to let the bases dry,then give the plants a a couple days, then gube them a tea or top dressing watered in. Then fill the bases back up. We shall see how it goes.
