One thing I have heard repeatedly, don't know if it applies here but I will throw it out there......the more soil you use, the more forgiving soil generally is. Its the main reason I am moving up to 10 gallon pots in my perpetual. I might go through more soil, but I don't mind. You will just need to change your watering schedule. I know for me, If I am in 2 gallon pots I get about 3 days before I have to water. If I am using 5 gallons, I get about 5-6 days depending on the size of the plant. Not sure how long between waterings in 10 gallon pots with my soil.
5 gallons is pretty much the largest I'm willing to run, plus I'm not sure I could really keep that much more soil on hand.
