I am not going to up pot in week 7 ...so with the batting now all gone I could get root wrapping in the end so each week I will check the SSD with a picture just to see. I TRUST and KNow ThaT OLD ST1R is right on the money about not allowing the the pots to drain & impeding oxygen levels in the soil !!! He has been a huge mentor in my grow success
and I always am grateful for coaching or mentoring to become a better grower.
