I'va almost always watered about a quart of fresh water per 3 gallons of soil, wait a few minutes, then feed to slight trickle of run-off. A couple of cups total. Works good with my schedule and nutes. I use Fox Farms, which is known for it's salt build-up, so I do monthly mini-flushes anyway. (followed by a dose of humic acid to the soil)

I pack the soil in the bottom 1/2 inch or so. A little escapes over time, but not a big deal. A tablespoon total, if that. Was using duct-tape to cover the holes in the sides of my 5 gallon buckets, but it's unnecessary. The roots hold the soil in, soon enough. Been doing it for IDK...6 months or so?

I was using that shade cloth (without interior rocks, to keep the soil in) for quite a while. But roots grow thru it, and I hated having to rip 'em off for transplanting. Tried leaving the shade cloth intact for transplant, but she runted-out. (smallest plant in the room)

Depends on the size of the holes, and the chunky-ness of the soil, too.
Rusty Trichome Reviewed by Rusty Trichome on . Repotting During Flower?? Hey All, Curious, do any of you soil (or soil less mix) repot your plants during flower? I've been trying to avoid this and do all my repotting during veg. I'm currently finishing in #2 or #3 pots (I think about 2 and 3 gallon respectively). My plants are staying pretty healthy, but I'm definitely curious on this one. I do have one White Diesel that was really trying to grow roots out of the pot. This was about a week after moving it from a #2 to a #3. It doesn't look at all like it's Rating: 5
