Ok ty....seems like that's every day in this heat!!! I originally asked because a seasoned grower told me I def don't have to water daily. He mentioned dry roots are good for growth!???
The top soil will dry very quick in the sun, but deep down there is probably a decent amount of moisture for the roots, so you probably shouldn't have to water everyday. The size of the plant and root system will make a huge difference, also the temperature and relative humidity.
No, dry roots are not good for growth, but sopping wet roots aren't good either because of the lack of oxygen. That is why having a proper dry back is very important with soil, it allows fresh oxygen to get pulled into the soil, but you want to water it again before it gets too dry. They need a balance of water and air.
