Hey I’ve got a couple of questions for you swickers!
setup 2 swicks in 7 gallon fabric pots, using a cut up hydro net pot in the bottom of each bag to create an air chamber inside, lined the edges with #4 course perlite and then filled with my soil mixed with 40% perlite.
bought some shallow drip pans and filled them with about 2 inches of same #4 course perlite… I did not use a swick pad but I did jack up top of perlite with mycos where the bag will sit.… also sprayed low sides and bottom of my grow bags with mycos before placement on the swick
is this puppy gonna be alright?
does the smart pot need to be nestled deep into the perlite?
does it sound like will I need to buy a drip pan with more than 2 inches of depth?
will the #4 course perlite wick ok?
the 7 gallon bag is pretty big but my other circular trays are huge in comparison - so much so that I’m afraid the water would constantly funk up with algae, so even tho these 2 inch pans might be shallow think I’m ok with filling them more often
thanks for your help!!!
