smarties kick ass....but remember, they will use 1 1/2 to 2 times the ammount of h2o through the cycle, so you would want to consider making an adjustment on your N ratio, to combat the extra leaching.....i have started to play with a N fixing bacteria, but it is still in the testing phases......i have used 5 gal smarts, and they will out perform buckets if you can be diligent about your watering, and never let them wilt and stress.....i think the advantages grow as you move up in volume...i like 7's for indo, 10's for small (under 3 feet mainlined) for greenhouse, and biggins' for outside........i used to be all about buckets...hence my name....but i am all about smarts now.......but again, you have to be on top of your game, if you want them to perform....

Ive been using them for a while now but I just feel like it takes forever to finally penetrate the bottom 3 inches with water cause it all comes out of the sides right above that 3 inches. I feel like I have to water in processes to fully moisten everything. Do you just water them in one shot or do you give them a bit of water let it absorb then do another round or two until you feel its totally moist? Obviously Im not having problems with watering but I was just curious on your process with the smart pots.
