The autopsy of Fluxys' pot just came back.
The culprit?
3 HOLES!
(some of this post is from pasted edit & mess w/ my general disarray)
3 HOLES! , holes added to the pot, that I failed to ever mention here. The sludge at the bottom of the pot, made flushing, fruitless. The sludge built up from upper soil leaching thru the coco, and building up over time on the bottom of the pot, below the extra holes, kept the flush water, above the sludge, the water ran off, thru the (stupid holes).
After i cut the pot open to get her out & into the ground, I saw an inch of "sludge" that built up at the bottom of her huge pot, the sludge blocked the very bottom drain holes, this did not allow for good drainage. I collected a few scoops of it and filled a 6" pot with a big hole in the center of the bottom. I left an inch or more room in the pot below the top rim, I packed the sludge down a bit like it was at the bottom of Fluxys' pot and topped it off with water, an hour later NO water had drained thru the sludge.
What this means is, all that flush water last week (and a few weeks ago), did not got out the bottom. Reason being, 2" above the bottom drain holes, I had added 3 extra drain holes (big mistake) so all my flush water failed to remove the sludge build up at the very bottom, the flush water all went out the 3 holes that were above the sludge.
The 3 high holes added to the pot, above the original drain holes, was a HUGE mistake, had I realized that the very bottom holes were clogged, I could have easily cleared them, and the sludge would have ran out the bottom. I think this was a big part of her big decline in health that snowballed on me. There were signs of fatigue almost a month ago, this shit was accumulating at the bottom of the pot, since she went into it.
I believe these holes were a big part of the horror show.
who's idea for xtra holes? I will say it was umm,,
,errrr, it was, ,,
uhhh, ,,, my friends?
nope, all my stupidity. must have been on good dope when I thought the holes were a good idea for better drainage, I never thought to wonder why every other pot I've seen since birth, never had side holes, what a mistake. If only I had mentioned these holes that I basically forgot about until a second look at the corpse aka the pot below
The holes in the very bottom, were ALL 100% clogged.
thanks for the update,
