Cutting the bottom off of the 5 gallon bucket and sinking into the ground is not the same thing. You're comparing apples to oranges. Cutting the bottom off completely eliminates the drainage problem associated with 5 gal buckets. 5 gallon buckets suck when growing in soil. Why aren't nurseries...

5 gallon buckets suck for growing in soil. There are so many better options. I have grow plants in 5 g buckets many times, several other people that I know have and at least one them still does. They all dump soil on my property and in almost every bucket there are ZERO roots in the bottom 1/3...

OK do a side by side 5 gallon bucket vs 5 gallon nursery pot vs 5 smart pot and get back to me

It look like you're using 5 gallon buckets for pots. IMHO those are the absolute worst choice for growing. How many and how big drainage holes did you drill? I've seen that so many times from new growers with problems. After you harvest dump that soil out onto a tarp or something, I think you'll...

watch that "evil boy" song. OMG I was dying laughing And I must add she is kinda hot in some strange way

Just water when needed. Let the plant tell you that. Get a moisture meter about $10. It's a wise investment until you can tell what they need. Another good way to tell is the "lift" technique. You should be able to feel the difference in the weight of a dry pot and a watered pot.

I cannot unsee this Thanks brother:-P

It's not as bad as that. Once you get the 'swish' thing down it goes quick. Kind of similar motion as them guys panning for gold. I can wash a 5 gallon bucket in about 15-20 minutes using the 10" net pot as a sieve. Also, here is another thing I didn't think about until just now:shock:. I...

Just watched a few of their videos on youtube. What a fucking trip:lol:

are those the people from that robot movie "Chappie"?

flush with plain water, use double the volume of the pot. ie: 5 gallon pot use 10 gallons of water. wait a couple/few days for the soil to dry out some then flush again. the next watering use ferts about 1/4 - 1/2 strength recommended on bottle. ditch them nutrients as previously mentioned and...

I tried gravel/washed stone before as well. I went back to hydroton :wink:

That's why I was curious about under the leaves. My first thought was thrips but..... There are definitely nutrient uptake issues as well...

I was wondering the same thing
