That is actually an excelent idea! Its a little different for me, as I have large laundry sink that i quite literally need to just pick my pots out of the grow box, do a 180 degree turn and the sink is right there, so its pretty convienent for me but I also only have 4 plants on the go, so they can all fit in there at once.

Adding soil to the top would cause more of a suffocation issue, as now the surface roots are buried under more soil.
Usually best to either pop the plant out and add soil to bottom, (leaving enough room for watering) or wait till your next transplant, and adjust levels then. No signs of plant stress, so doubtful it's an issue yet. :jointsmile:
yeah, thats why i made the second post right after suggesting to pop them out instead :thumbsup: they just seem REALLY far down in those pots, looks like there is at least 1 entire node below the rim.
