Hi @drcree. You don’t need a container for the fabric pots, other than a potting tray to catch run off. Here’s a picture of mine, in 5-gallon SmartPots. I usually water them just until they start to run off, which is a couple of liters, for my plants. So these aren’t any messier than regular pots, but much healthier for the plants.

i didn’t think about how much nutrients fox farms has and the lack of need for additional. thank you for mentioning that. also the big honkin vinyl saucers are a great idea. really appreciate it!

i wanted to mention to those who assisted me with my plants that they have been transferred to 5 gallon fabrics with pro mix soil and are doing incredibly well. it even looks like they are smiling. thank you all for helping!
i do have some white blotches on some leaves and am attributing that to the pH change while flushing. sound correct?

here they are: amnesia haze af and maui
like i said, these were flushed with 6,5 pH water and think it might be a residual of that. just a thought
Hmm. A little nute burn on the tips, which looks pretty normal. I’m not sure what those white blotches are. They are very irregular. They look a bit like foliar burn, as if the leaves got a bit wet with something, while the lights were one. Might that have happened? I’m afraid I’m not sure what’s going on, otherwise.

i do mist the leaves on all the plants with water on the off-watering days. do you think that is the source? strangely though, it is not happening to all the plants.
the burn you speak of was present prior to flushing so that is residual. i have given no nutrients since the flushing stage–just 6.7 water.

I think what he meant is that if you splashed some nutes on a leaf and it dried, it would have that localized splotchy look.

With really intense light, a water drop can have a magnifying glass effect on a leaf and leave a light spot. Those usually heal a little. If nutes get on the leaf, it will bleach. If there are no buggies under the leaf, that is probably the culprit.
