First time growing in beds indoors. Extremely overwatered a bed (45 gl tote). Beginning of week 8.
What are my chances of making it to harvest (approx 13 days)? The bed literally has standing water and the worms are all coming to the surface.
(I will definitely water by hand next time lol)

Depending on your budget, you can sacrifice the tote and drill a drain hole. Might even be able to plug it back up when done. I mean, the tote’s probably more replaceable than that entire plant and your time.

I would try my best to drain it. I’m no expert though, I’m on my first run and have killed 3 ladies already

Can you try to add more dry medium to the top and mix it in maybe to absorb?

UPDATE: So, I went ahead and drilled holes in the tote. I collected 2 – 5gl buckets of water that drained from the holes with a shop vac. 😳
Zero worms were harmed in the draining of the bin. (They were all at the top so they could breathe)
The girls obviously do not look happy with me, but they’ve relaxed now. No damage seems to be done…

Top feeding or bottom feeding?

I top feed but the overflow runs off into an AC Infiniti fabric pot base that wicks it back up as needed. So I feel like I get the best of both, but I based it 100% on bro science

Top… by hand. Every time.

If you’re feed the size of plant Vs feeding size of container well then I’ll go top feeding. At some point your root growth slows as it ages so making a point to Hit what’s there instead of going with the mentality of bigger roots more fruits.. at some point that also begins to stop.

I do both top and bottom, these double bucket sytem has been a game changer for me. No more over/under watering. McLovin it!

I just bought this automatic dripper that’ll feed like 20 plants for $45 on amazon. Gonna put 12 2 1/2gals in the 4×4 with that dripper hooked up to a 7ga water jug. Vacation here I come. So I top water now lol. I was on the autopot but I moved them outdoors for the Carolina reapers

Water more or water more often
A healthy rhizosphere requires dissolved oxygen (O2) as well as moisture (H2O). Water is not able to hold as much oxygen as the air, so roots can consume the available oxygen in the water to the point where roots start to ‘suffocate’ pretty quick. There is really no such thing as over-watering. Roots can live submerged as long as O2 levels…
