Best way to feed? Anyone?

  1. OK my nutrients are in gallon water jugs and I noticed that when I feed or pour them in it makes like a crater in the soil and doesn't really spread out and I have tried a flower watering plastic thing with the shower head on the tip lol but that splashes nutes and water everywhere.

    Is there any advice any vets could give?

    Thanks for reading my brothers and sisters. Toke on *bongin*

    If I must only have a little bit of something I want the best
     
  2. Pour slower and pout around the entire top of the soil not just one spot. The soil will naturally compress as you wet it but pouring to fast all in the same spot Is what will cause the depression only in one spot

  5. Or duct tape the opening and put some holes in it.

    Hydro shops sell hand pump pressurized sprayers that have fully adjustable nozzle heads. Picked up my 1 gallon Rain Maker for $17 and it can do fine mist to strong stream. Love it and it works 1000000x better than the old plastic watering can I had. I also spend prolly 15 min at least slowly watering each plant vs just quickly dumping it in...I let it soak in and start working through the soil before dumping more water in the pot. When I got good at it no more craters like you said.

    Here's the brand I got
