i have grown various plants in self watering containers using a wick type construction with superior results.

they are really inexpensive to build and offer a modular growing system that can be portable.

Once i figure out how to post it i will put up a video on how to build a planter and some results for you to see.

plants tend to grow shorter and wider making for huge stems and robust colas.

one other cool feature is that they only need to be watered every week or so depending on plant size.

I take mine from clones stated in a 12 oz cup size container and place into a 14 gallon container (1/2 water)

the plants pull only the water they need so there is no waste.

here is a vid i just shot for you to check out

One note: i use a pump to drain the container every two weeks so the solution does not get stale in the container and flush with fresh water for a week about once a month. Definitely when going from veg to flower.
bigmac55 Reviewed by bigmac55 on . Self watering pots, anyone? Has anyone used them? Pros, cons? I have checked prior threads. Found only 2 posts. Also, can you keep the seeds in the same pot from start to finish? Are you limiting yourself in any way? Thanks Rating: 5
