Fabric Pots - Air circulation under pot?

[Jibblerjoe]

My idea is, get 5in diameter pvc pipe, cut into 3in pieces. Then use 3 of them under 3 gal pot to raise it up out of runoff water.

at day 52 in my space I am feeding 1x a week-it will get to 3x a week. The girls tell me when they want feed-copco not so dry but they droop-then I feed and they perk...follow instructions-and OBSERVE the plant- they will tell you..honest!

My local hydroponics shop orders those drip trays like Royal Nigs has offline, I'm sure they are out there somewhere. I have a couple for drainage purposes and they were cheap. I will see if they can tell me but a google search might be quicker

I have made my pot rack. It holds 2 pots suspended over a Tupperware type container that was designed to go under a bed (short height). Two of those for my 4 plants. Now I can rest the fabric pots on the 'rack' and let them drain into the tubs, or put my pan on the rack to slow down the watering schedule. The tubs slide out for emptying without disturbing the plants. One more form of control at my fingertips

Nice resolution!

something i have done that is much cheaper is buy the cheapest plastic pot i can find then pop the inside bottom plastic part out, and place that upside down in my tray... good drainage+air flow. in fact, the last one i did this with looked exactly like NA420 's pic up there.

if i could upload a pic i'd post it--looked for one online but they only have pics of the pot itself not the innards.

I have my fabric pots in trays that have rocks in them to keep the pots off the bottom of the trays. The water that does drain seems to evaporate by the time the next watering comes around.
