Not sure what this is but I will definitely look into it

They sell them on Amazon. Works ok

The tool doesn’t do all the work, but if you study the tool with human intervention to manipulate the offset, then the tool will work to the users intended purpose.

Great thing about this website is you get many opinions from different people. We all do this our own way, it’s up to you to make the decision.

your right you did it went from overwatering to light stress to underwatering to hey put 12 cups of water on your overwatered plants
and he should upgrade so he can get on here and have people tell him he upgraded to a piece of shit meter or whatever and that he need to spend 200 dolla on a ph tester and 400 on soil tester

Over watering meaning too frequently before dry back and underwatering by not wetting all of your medium each watering. Watering practices are important and regarding the light stress, young or unhealthy plants need way less light intensity than you think. You're overworking them while they are vulnerable. You obviously have issues with reading comprehension, that is not my fault.
3 liters of water for a 3 gallon pot is too much? Continue with your cup of water every day and watch this plant die like your others.
Good luck.

soil moisture meter accuracy video

can someone explain to me why when all the soil is in the pot this moisture meter says wet , then with the soil out of the pot it says dry ? is it wet or is it dry

I had problems this grow with root rot because the bottom of the pot was not dry when the top 3 inches were dry and the bottom never dries out

I use fabric containers and I always put about an inch or two of stone in the bottom, Clay pebbles Clay pebbles to be exact. I noticed the difference

Yes I'm just using it as a guide to help me with the finger sticking and pot lifting because doing those things without the moisture meter were not working for me. I'm not using it as my bible or anything and hope to grow out of it. This is my first soil grow and I'm hoping to be one of those finger stickers and pot lifters someday.

I've got a meter like that, probably Home Depot or something. They're not dependable. If you don't put stones at the bottom and it doesn't drain wel soil compaction plays part in the meter reading as well. There are some nicer ones if you wanna spend 60 or $80.
If you have the time you can also try to bottom feeding I have some friends with great success will do that but they don't have kids or a job lol plenty of time on their hands. They go around and feed a little at a time until it stops soaking it up. Good luck man
