Great thread by the way. I would like to seek some advice if I may;
I grow in 11L fabric pots with soi universal potting soil (50% white sphagnum & 50% black peat moss limed) mixed with some polystyrene (didn't have perlite). We are about 45 days into flower & up until recently I was watering with 3L every 4/5 days. I noticed less & less runoff late veg but continued with 3L until I recently increased to 4.5L & still not that much runoff (I guess about 300-400ml). I water 0.5L in the centre, then 1L on each side.
I feel I can easily water with 5L or even 6L every 4/5 days. What puzzles me is that my fabric pots are only 11L so 5L would be 45% of pot size which sounds a lot but isn't, seemingly. Plus the temps are pretty decent. Bear in mind also they vegged about 56 days making it 101 days so far or 3.6 months. Another 4-5 weeks to go.
