I have been flooding my pots which hold clay pebbles almost to the top maybe 1" under the stem of my plants. I just read a post that stated that you shouldn't flood no more that 1-1/2" from the bottom of the pots. My plants roots are hanging below the pots so they will get the water but I thought that the reason to flood the whole pot was to force air out and get fresh air as it recedes. I cut my water cycle down to 3 times a day and the plants still tend to droop after watering so I'm going to lower my water level and see what happens. Can someone give me some incite to which way to flood is correct.
