Hey mason...i got that......exactly how i do it....
Into the 26ers right from the one's. At transplant i give two gallons ...that's it...the pot and soil holds six , but that's too much to have just sitten around .Two gal's in a 26 gal. pot will allow some moisture to get down deep but not all the way , so the plants still have some looking to do for it...works well for me this way. After the two gal's it's about 6-7 days and that's when you drench and soak the whole deal! it's been 9 days today that they got the 6 gal's. in each pot. They are still growing fast and every day there is noticeable , new growth,....i felt the soil at surface (dry) at two inches (damp) and at four inches (damp), this tells me to hold off and just be patient and wait a few more days....even though it's been 9 days. They are making lots and lots of roots, and that's what i want , before they start getting Drenches with all Doc's gear. I havn't decided what to give them next.... a Drench with G.E. , or OG Drench, or Transplant or just good ol plain water again??? We'le see...maybe they'l tell me eh!
A tweek here....a tweek there...you know. OK, i'm rambling.....happy 4/20 Mason,Shiggs and Gang....i swear it's the MLI...
