Heres something i'd like advice on in regards to soil grow and feeding. Is it better to feed from the bottom so it gets absorbed or is it better to feed from the top for the drainage?! Opinions and advice please....im currently feeding from the bottoms to see how it goes.

As long as the soil wicks the water evenly throughout the container it works fine. Be cautious not to overfeed though. The excess nutrients aren't washed "through" the soil, therefore they just build up within it.

Use both and take the guess work out of it.

When I water it usually drains out a little anyway and then it gets soaked up after a bit. SO ya it should work fine.
