Hey all,
I am currently growing a single plant in a 1/2 gallon (6x6) pot with Promix HP as medium. I use a moisture meter and the lift method to decide when to water..
I have another identical pot, filled with the same soil, which has never been planted or watered...
Here is my question: relative to my unused pot described above, how light should I let my pot get with the plant? I believe that a very small portion at the very bottom of the pot may never completely dry out. When I compare my plant to the unplanted pot, the unplanted pot is basically light as a feather... I am at 4 days since my last watering and there is still some weight to the plant although dramatically lighter than after a watering.
I know that the plant pot will never be as light as the test pot..but wondered how light I should go before watering. Hard to quantify I know but thought I'd see your opinions!
