I'm growing autoflowers in soil. I found a sticky on here about when to water and even it contradicts itself in the very same post. What are common mistakes made by first time growers?
It says at first to check the weight of the pot when dry, then water, then wait until it's at dry weight to water again.
Then, later in the article, it says to wait until the first couple/few inches are dry and then water again.
With a 12" tall pot, this is a HUGE difference between waiting until it's nearly to the dry weight (12" of dry) and waiting until 2" or 3" is dry.
Which is correct because the same article lists both and they are drastically different approaches.
Thanks for the help!
