[Potted]

I was shopping for smart pots on eBay, and to my surprise I found a new type at least for me ( square) smart pots.
No more wasted space between round ones. I know it’s not a biggie but if I could fit more pots under the same lights
growing more for the same $$$ i call that a win,win. Hope this helps u out. Chow for now😎

I'm using a square, six-gallon plastic storage basket from Target. It's molded to look like a woven basket, so has lots of gaps for air. I line it with burlap. Works great.

I'm using 70% coco and 30% perlite (with automatic watering two times a day from a 6 gallon reservoir filled with diluted nutrients that I change once a week--works great!)

nice! thats my next plan on the next round is setting up a automatic watering system or rdwc i have alot of ladies to water one by one but i enjoy time in the garden. watering each one kinda gives me a one on one with them. lol

1:1 time with your plants is important! I just spent two hours with *one plant* feeding and fussing and trimming and training.

That said, an automated watering system is easy to set up and it's such a relief to be able to let things go on cruise control for a day or three when life gets in the way of farming.

I tried some of those square pots potted and they work ok they dont maintain the square shape once they have dirt in them but they do fit better than round ones lol
