Each one has a section that says too wet. Which one are you doing.the first pic is a diagram i wanted to see the root structure and the time i have
back to perched water table
i call it soggy bum lol ,
if you get a sponge and soak it , now hold the sponge upright , when the water runs out there will still be a heavy layer at the bottom , this is like your pots , its the perched water table , turn the sponge to the side the water will run down again still leaving a heavy part of water at the bottom , you only move the perched water table to another location
so in theory if i water half up half down i get less of the soggy bum
mate that is the example of the perched water table and how it sits and how it moves ,
, i would also think water more often
Yea makes sense.mate that is the example of the perched water table and how it sits and how it moves ,
if you water a pot with 3 gallon of water , at the bottom it will stay wet until all the water comes down through the medium , but if i soak the bottom and have the medium draw the water up a third this will keep it nicely moist not soaked , when i water the top ill water with maybe 1 and half gallon so the pot dries equal and it does not leech out the nutrients in my soil, all this along with not having a perched water table for more than a day the soil at the bottom stay moist not soaked same as the top , an even moist container , ( i would think )
People learn more by trying new things mate , if it does not work who cares just do what you did before , if it is better with better yields and less nutes used then give your self a pat on the back for trying new methods
there is a bigger world thinking outside the box 
I agree my friend. I just have to follow you to see that there are many ways to do the same thing. And many we haven't tried yet. Lots of really great stuff you do. And explained perfectly.People learn more by trying new things mate , if it does not work who cares just do what you did before , if it is better with better yields and less nutes used then give your self a pat on the back for trying new methods
is there a drain ? pretty coolTrying to grow catnip in a glass jar ( inspired by @Dabeast09 's Bibi plant). I figured the rotting wet zone might be removed by a base of hydroton rather than gravel. The roots seem really happy.
Do you need a volunteer to help empty those crab shells. I don't mind .@Bill284 i am dedicating this plant to you , the return of the air pot after 6 years , its filled with my super douper pooper wouper dee douper soil , i also put in a good strain that can grow big , as this is the ultimate soil and the ultimate pot i decided to drop in
Auto Ultimate .
i put large crab shell in i filtered the dust out , , serves no purpose but drainage , i have crab dust in for calcium
So many !!!Another run , ok so im going gods gift again an amazing strain with the most relaxing feeling ever , i tried to track this auto down but couldn't so i made my own , i traced the parents og kush and granddadddy purple, cross them you get Gods gifts
firstly i lined and primed my pots anti fungus gnats
i germinate in my cloner , works fine , i use root riot plugs and slice an X at the tops so the seeds husk can come through ph at 5.6 with a little seaweed extract
i use an old wardrobe on its side to get a nice high humidity going , i use t5s plus a reptile humidifier , its wicked they love it
they then get moved under 2 x 300 watt CFL blue before going under a hps MH , 2 x 250w mh 1 x hps 250 then 2 x 250 hps 1 x 250
last gods gift and Cinderrella Jack
if its doing well , i would just leave it to see how it grows
