I just let my coco smart pots sit in their juices just like my organic smart pots.

I originally planned to buy a small plastic bin that I could place each plant in but that's some tedious shit.

Forgot to actually answer your question. I use a simple clear plastic cup for all my watering.

I drill a hole in the lid of a 2 liter soda bottle i cleaned out and duct tape some 1/4 inch tubing in it and water through the tube, helps not disturb the soil by limiting the flow. Most people do remove the runoff to avoid molds and mildews. They do look overwatered.

 

Not in my tent. No bugs as far as I know. I also put a peventative layer of Lava sand on top of my mediums so that might be my key to success.

 

LIsten, when you pot your plant you want to fill it up as much as possible, and it will compress with watering, but always leave enough room at the top of the pot to water without running it over. Sounds like your pot is too full. These things need a very light arid soil...most of the time amended 40-50% with perlite, for ease of root movement and good drainage. You need good drainage out the bottom. My guess is you're watering way too often. If you pick that pot up and it doesn't feel like it did when you loaded it with dry soil, then it's not time. They do not like moisture sitting around their roots so it's imperative to allow them to dry out sufficiently between watering/feeding. If you're using box store soil, the stuff is loaded with slow release fertilizer so save yourself from frying your plants and don't give any nutes until the plant has grown some and gotten some size on it and had a chance to use up what came in the soil...which was a lot, most likely. During veg, they need good light, good soil, pH'd water and usually very little nutes. If you start them in small containers like Solo cups...to confine the amount of space they have to root into before they start back growing foliage, your plant will progress faster. When the plant is larger than the cup it's in (wider and taller), that usually means it's slightly root bound and time for a new pot. Pot up into fresh new soil (fresh nutes) one size up and do it over again. The less space it has to root into, the quicker it gets back to growing foliage. While it's rooting, the foliage will just sit there. Now those who grow autos don't subscribe to this method and say that autos don't like the stress of repotting. I don't know about that because I don't mess with auto strains. But if you're growing normal strains and are looking for the fastest way to grow your plant and get it ready for flowering, this is the best I've found. But over watering is the biggest killer of plants by new growers. Go read in the new grower threads here. There are several "sticky's" that contain the very basics that every grower needs to know to do this with as little stress and trouble as possible. TWW

 

I also use a pressure sprayer to keep the tops of my soil moist. The sprayer I bought is a simple pump sprayer, it has a long slender nozzle which makes it easy to get around and under my girls branches. I recommend you pick one up. It can also be a handy tool if you ever decide to make ice water hash. The pressure from the sprayer is great for getting the trichs that get stuck to the walls of bubble bags.

 

If you plan on using it to spray things other than plain water, I would recommend cleaning the nozzle and what not.
