Smart Pots how exactly do they work?

I put holes all the way around my hempy tubs, which were filled with perlite. I never managed to fill them so quickly that the water/feed could possibly come close to overflowing the top of the tub.

Thats what I was trying to get at.... if more holes around the permieter of the bucket was OK or if there is a benefit to simply 1 slow draining hole.

I didnt know if Hempy growers were shooting for the whole flooded saturation thing similar to D9s PPKs before the slower draining of the upper medium.


Thanks SeaMaiden

Plastic milk crates lined with shade cloth work pretty good too. Real good handles on these.

i can amagine picking up hempys with holes all way round, you would be pissed on all the time, would create a big mess in my situation anyway, i like one hole lol , and i'm a sticking to it.

Noyd, I used 30gal bins, no chance of picking those babies up in any event! Three years later I still have two of 'em out on my back deck, filled with perlite.

I forgot to mention that these were outdoors, so I didn't have to worry about the overflow making a huge mess. Otherwise, I might use trays of some sort. Did I mention these were pure perlite? VERY fast-draining, no chance of anything remaining on the surface whatsoever.

Glad my response helped.
