Been banging my head here (some of you may remember me as "Polyploidal" LED Mandala fan), 'coz I was EVICTED (yeah), I've had to change everything and start again (even lost hand-made canvass wardrobe conversion -mylar and black-denim/orig. canvass three-ply pocketed raised base tent -you could hear it breathing-). So....trying soilless now NIGHTMARE..I went Arthur Bowers "Ring-Culture" (I can't find any references -of any use-, online to MJ grown with these -bad start-), with 50% bio-char potting mix.
That stuff DRIES OUT man watch out (not helped by the evaporation through the ring pots -which also mold given a fraction of a chance-, which prompted me to improve air-flow and "uncrowd" my cupboard 'coz they got "wilt" -only cured by "Kukulus" which I bought for outdoor mite probs-)!
Now the ring-pots will not wick water up from the soilless like they should (?), is it the bio-char or am I doing something else wrong (I have simply placed ring-culture pots on top of mix bags to let them self root -as with toms-)?
