Ive been using a sub irrigated planter for a couple weeks, and the results are incredible. Lowes has a 20" wide x 24" long planter available for $30. Best $30 ive spent on growing, takes out the number 1 issue new growers face, proper watering.
I am curious about this, but haven't been able to locate the product you are talking about. Is it possible you might be able to link me to it so I could check it out?
I don't personally think those plants are ready to water to runoff like you're talking about in that container. I think the amount of water you are giving it makes sense. But, gradually increasing the amount as you go is good. Waiting to water until the leaves start drooping is not something I would recommend (if you can help it).
Thank you for providing the link. That thing is pretty neat. I have had some over-saturation issues with other self-watering products. But, that one seems to be getting glowing reviews. I might consider it for down the road.
You're welcome. Three days may be a good schedule for now, but I'd keep an eye out for signs of over-watering. What are bites? I apologize, but am unfamiliar with the term.
Bloody auto correct lol I ment nutes
Oh. That's something that you'd probably get a lot of different opinions on here. Some people might even want to know specifics like what you plan to give them, and how much. To me personally, those plants have exited the seedling stage. If they belonged to me, I would start giving vegetative nutrients in pH-adjusted water.
That's what I'm gonna do. I've been giving them a little bit of root stimulator since seed which seems to have had a positive effect. So I'm gonna start off with some the nutrients I've got and follow the chart that comes with them
