First time outside grow in fabric pots

[garybo]

lifting the pots is a much better way to judge when to water imo for someone new

Great advice @HappyHamat88, I for one use that method and I don't consider myself new at this game.
Also, a moisture meter can be purchased for under $10 on line (ebay and amazon).

Yea same I don't consider myself new either and I swear by this method and use it everyday.

Never tried a meter... I'm not a huge fan of technology....things can go sour with them at any point lol are they reasonably accurate?

I have to say "yes" to your question, they are accurate enough. I have several strains and it is much easier to poke the probe into the soil then to lift each one. I tend to go the lazy route.

.... And at roughly 12 lb a gallon of wet dirt... Lifting that would be worlds strongest man type gardening lol

We could start some sort of 'strong man' competition, get sponsorships, sell seating tickets, sell TV rights, and become millionaires.

Right make it a stoners strong person contest....rip a bunch of bongs...flip a tire....shot gun a joint.....carry a 40gallon fabric pot 100m.... Do a couple dabs shot put a big ass root ball

Call it the "Budz and Brawn" competition.....the only competition where your lungs need to be as strong as your muscles....

I don't believe black fabric pots have the heat issues that black plastic does.
What size pots? You may want to go larger, I had a big auto in 3G that kept
falling over last year, 10G for me now. Auto or Regular?

Two of them are in 3 gallons for another 4 days, switching them to 15 gallons. One is in a 10 gallon going into a 15. And One is in a 15... Regular no autos
