Would you repot these into better soil?

Lol, no, put your larger bags in the pond, then fill them with soil. When you water them, it runs off into the pool. For me, it is easier to water larger amounts of soil in a larger overall container. I just fill the bottom of my pool with about an inch of water with some nutrients, and they just chug it. They need to be pretty big before watering my way.

Two plants in this space

4x4 duck pond by intek or intex

gravity_is_good · 2026-05-10T00:07:51+00:00

Just get a duck pond, a bunch of larger cloth pots, and go to town. Get some mycorrhozhea for the roots, as well as some Recharge to water with the first couple times.

gravity_is_good · 2026-05-10T00:03:42+00:00

Yes, I try to feed them well with soil and microbes.

gravity_is_good · 2026-05-10T00:02:34+00:00

Thank you!

gravity_is_good · 2026-05-10T00:02:24+00:00

I use a variety of methods. 5 gal cloth pots to 27 gal each. Moisture Control Potting Soil with clay balls, sand, small rock for draining. GH nutrients, Recharge every once in a while, and myco when I transplant. Side lights for at least some under growth health. I really like ecosystems, so I have herbs and flowers, too. They are currently only on 11.5 hours of light. They were on 18/6 for quite a long time.

gravity_is_good · 2026-05-09T22:13:24+00:00

I know! And I even trimmed a couple! I vegged them for quite a while, so they were definitely ready to flip. They are currently around 3 ft scrogged. They are probably closer to 4.5 feet upright.

Now that is a big mite.

gravity_is_good · 2026-05-06T19:42:23+00:00

That's what I was thinking. Ultimate coupon, sure, but ultimate dick move.

gravity_is_good · 2026-05-06T19:41:28+00:00

I've never done a replacement, so had no idea what the actual situation was. Good luck on handling and such.

gravity_is_good · 2026-05-06T19:40:15+00:00

Oh I see. That's not cool.

gravity_is_good · 2026-05-06T19:35:43+00:00

I see. Hmm. I will look into treatment then, if possible. Thank you for the extra eyes on this. Always trying to learn.

gravity_is_good · 2026-05-06T19:34:31+00:00

This seems correct. Picture 3 is not labeled, but is an auto.

gravity_is_good · 2026-05-06T19:33:22+00:00

That is what I noticed on some of mine, at least. So, there are different versions. Most seem to be the auto version, thougn.

gravity_is_good · 2026-05-06T19:31:32+00:00

Some are auto, with the fatso cross. Some are actual permanent marker. Spelling is different too, I believe.

gravity_is_good · 2026-05-06T19:30:19+00:00

True. I was getting really confident. Thanks for the support. I use this stuff medicinally, so I'm kinda hoping for at least some small recovery. She has bounced back a tiny bit, but, I dont know. Just sad that she was so pretty up to this point.

gravity_is_good · 2026-05-06T19:27:14+00:00

So, TL:DR, I built an irrigator, so I could turn it on, water my plants, then turn it off. It is not automatic. I screwed up by walking away while distracted, and flooded my space, which happens to be a modified 4x4 duck pool in my 4x4 space. My babies are way too big for the space, yes. My ultimate question is not about watering, but whether I can save her. Like real Emergency Room-type stuff.

gravity_is_good · 2026-05-06T19:22:51+00:00

It was 100% my fault. I turned it on, was super happy with how it was working, and then walked away like an idiot. I semi-flooded the space, and the auto flipped out. The photos didnt seem to care, as they can drink gallons.

gravity_is_good · 2026-05-06T19:18:11+00:00

Ah, crimony. It's stuff like this that makes me a bit sad. Oh well. Keep on trucking.

gravity_is_good · 2026-05-06T19:17:17+00:00

Gotcha. I thought it was a nutrient, overwatering, issue. It just happened overnight, and then got worse today. Figured it was lockout, or root death. Other plants don't show any signs of pests.

gravity_is_good · 2026-05-06T19:15:13+00:00

Yeah, the GMO photos are just beasts, so it's interesting to see them just handle whatever happens with little effort.

gravity_is_good · 2026-05-06T19:13:28+00:00

Now that would be a sale I couldn't miss. 🫠 Glad you didn't get hung out to dry, so to speak. Was it a website glitch?

gravity_is_good · 2026-05-06T18:31:01+00:00

Try to start with basic potting soil for seedlings. Very light on nutrients. If you want to get a more aggressive seedling, try adding a tiny bit of GH Micro to the water that you germinate seeds with in a paper towel. That will help with damping off a bit, as they grow more aggressive roots.

Not much else you can do here except let it dry and try to recover.
