I too did not like the moister meters and use the finger method. Lifting works as well. The key is to figure out the format to which makes you feel like you can read the situation.

As far as watering I usually start by pouring in .75liters wait 10 minutes then another .75. Repeat until you see water begin to trickle out the poop shoots.

AND WRITE IT ALL DOWN UNTIL IT'S IN YOUR Brain LIKE YOUR ABC's

As corny as it may sound with time just like the vets will tell you, these bitches are very responsive to things they like (or dislike for that matter) and you're plants will speak to you.

Best of luck to you!!
Yes Sir, many thanks.... greengo840 you're like some kinda 420 Wizard. Your words spoke to me in a way that I could understand. My plants are very young, and the question of watering came to mind. I came to my favorite 420magazine to find the answers, and got more than I expected.

many thanks!
