Actually I haven't had any problem with folding...the coco doesn't compact at all. I think it has maybe compacted a 1/4 of an inch since I filled the pots. It's funny with watering and saturating. I am doing a drain to waste so I shoot for about %10 of what I pour to go to waste. In the pots they actually drain out the bottom first and really not at all out of the sides. Before this thread I was only watering once every 5 days, which was way to little. Now I go every other day and things seem to be happier although as they are growing I am sure by the end I will be watering once a day at least. I will attach pics of my set up in a few, but I have 4- 2x8 ebb and flow trays that I use just for the drainage part. I haven't really had an issue with transplant, though I am sure if I did right now I would since the roots have grown outside of my bags haha
