Can't believe you guys...

Call it a newbster thing but I can't see how I could water my 5 gal pail veggin madame more than once every ten days (figure a gallon and a half of nuted distilled. Bang. Then let her wait for next "feeding".

I have 3/4" holes drilled into the pail with a good 3" of lava rock. She's lookin' good.

But which wise sage so long ago somewhere, farfar away, wait, not that far, hadst typed, "that (s)he who waiteth untilist plant says "I need water", dost the right thing."

But no kiddin around now, in plastic that could be a long time if that plant isn't robustly using more water than it wants (under CFLs anyway).

MB. relate just fine on the wusssin' out there.

So, related to roots and rooting - there's the flexibility of a plastic container as well. Pail won't evaporate off a lot of internal moisture unused by Madame, and what does manage to dry on the outside of the ball passes dangerously dry are directly to the most ambitious of roots. Can't be good. And so on and so on... occured to me, thot I'd mention it.
