I've been using Subcool's recipe for a while now and recently changed to Ocean Forrest as a base soil. Although I'm getting better results overall, I've noticed the plants in the 8 gal. airpots are showing nute defs much earlier and the final product has been much worse than the bud grown in the normal pots. Water does run through the airpots faster than normal pots, but it retains a lot of it too so I can't imagine this would cause it to flush out the SS 2-3 weeks earlier. Soil PH is the same and all other conditions are similar so I've narrowed it down to the pots. I'm considering watering the air-pots less than the others so there is less run-off or just plugging most of the holes on the bottom (which is a lot). These were expensive pots so I'd rather find a solution than reinvest in more, so if anyone has any theories or experience with this please chime in. Here is a picture of the plants... you can see the Space Dawg girl in the upper left has yellowing and dying leaves while the other are still mostly green.
This is what the air-pot looks like for those who are unfamiliar with them.
