You need an appropriate medium to do flood and drain. It should be able to shed excess water quickly and not sit soggy. It's not an appropriate method for a typical soil grow.
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . How to water from the bottom up Ok this may seem like a stupid question, but how do you water your plants from the bottom up? I've read in several threads where people do it but no instruction on how to do it. I can only think of dunking your pot into a larger bucket filled with water, but this would completely soak your medium like you were flushing it. Then I thought maybe people are feeding tubes into their soil and doing it that way, but I can't see it working like that either. So please someone shed some light Rating: 5
