I use the proper PH to water my girls in 10 gallon pot bags. I also use organic liquid fertilizer (forgot name) with a bit of feather meal during veg. Two questions:
I have a plastic pan underneath them to catch the water. The extra water that passes to pan generally gets absorbed back in to the bag. Is that ok that I leave the water there to be reabsorbed or should it run off?? It has lots of fertilizer and nutrients?
2nd, the bags I use are porous throughout the bottom and sides. After I water I notice much of the soil is not evenly moist. Did I purchase the wrong planter bag? It would be nice if the side weren’t so porous to help all water flow through the soil evenly (like a plastic pot that you’d fill with a few inches of water and it goes straight down)
I almost feel like the bags should have less porous sides that the bottom. I could alway wrap the sides in some plastic wrap but then that is like a plastic pot.
Thanks
