which kind of meter do you buy?Buy a cheap meter till you get the hang of it.
thanks you for sharing!With small pots, it is very easy to recognize when the soil is drying out. With larger pots, you can lift them slightly to tell from their weight whether there is still enough moisture in them or whether it is time to water. With a little experience you can roughly estimate the intervals, depending very much on the lighting and climatic conditions in your grow environment.
Yes, taking more time and attentions for getting better harvest!I'd like to add that when they are very young you have to be more careful about not letting them fully dry out as they will have much less stored water than larger plants - at the same time don't keep the soil constantly soaked. The best way for a beginner is to spend as much time with them as you can - watch them.
Any of the cheap ones from a nursary will work, only like $10 ,then as you use it lift your pots as you read it and get the feel.which kind of meter do you buy?
Drought stress, in a limited way, has also been shown to increase cannabinoids.I water after a dry period, this is good for relation with beneficial bacteria/fungus and plant but not too long. 3 days dry. Then I like to make sure with established plants that whole soil is wet. Rain water here the amount of rainfall does a better job not letting soil nutrients leech while my soil absorbs a lot of water. But my soil has composted outside for years in the pot and is composed of a potting soil that was full of bark and things.
I use the 5gallon fabric grow bag.What kind of pots are you using?
Pots with aeration through the sides?
Like airpots or fabric pots (bags)?

thank you!As a general advice to someone who hasnt got this right yet: less frequent than you think.
Learn to recognize the signs of drying pot, saggy leaves which then wilts in short time, or even leaves that point straight down. When you see this lift the pot to get an idea of how light it is, lift another pot to compare. Once you can see the signs and recognize weight of a dry pot its easy
