It's time for another grow experiment...UPDATE.

2. On other grows I did have the bags...

Up and off the drain pan. What I’m going to say next is baffling even to me. This medium stays at the right degree of moisture for an abnormal amount of time. While I was ‘brewing’ the soil I keep the lights on to warm the soil and that big box fan for flow. That soil is soaked till it drains out to make sure all parts will brew correctly. After that initial soak with two weeks of lights on 50% and fan blowing. The medium was still with great moisture throughout the bag. It did dry around the edges as bags do but the central soil was still able to ‘clump’ when squeezed.
So I’m hoping to water less during the veggie stage just maintaining the moisture without bleeding the bag. The girls always get thirstier during flower for that I have grids I place over the drain pan and set the bags on that.

Should be fun!
