It's hard to get a feeling for when to water if you have never gardened, be it vegetables, ornamentals, vine plants or fruit trees. Then soil and coco each have different challenges and tactics. There is no simple answer or formula. You just get a green thumb or you don't...Is there a mathematical or visual function , giving the best time to water? When and why would an agronomist or agriculturalist water?
Or a new grower could buy a simple and inexpensive moisture meter to use as a guide while they learn how to determine when to water a plant. It's a good tool for the beginner.It's hard to get a feeling for when to water if you have never gardened, be it vegetables, ornamentals, vine plants or fruit trees.

mmmmm i wouldn’t use those cheap ones..Or a new grower could buy a simple and inexpensive moisture meter to use as a guide while they learn how to determine when to water a plant. It's a good tool for the beginner.
I just noticed these signs on the new plants .mmmmm i wouldn’t use those cheap ones..
this grower is just making it more difficult than it needs to be, and if he tries doing everything based on science he’ll never be successful,
learning is more about trial and error than anything..
ok.. i’m guessing your temp humidity etc are good, so again that’s from the soil always being wet ish, part of it might be the seeds just getting things worked out or the soil is just a bit strong (it’ll be ok).. are the cotyledon (small first round) leafs curled down? yellowing?I just noticed these signs on the new plants .
I didn't say cheap ... I said inexpensive. There is a difference, lol. If it has a battery and an LED I would walk away. I use the old analog kind. They are pretty accurate.mmmmm i wouldn’t use those cheap ones..

I watered today the little plants. The pot had stopped from getting lighter . I have not watered yet the big plants.what’s going on?
pictures?
ok.. well one definitely looks better than the other.. might be worth only growing the better one, but still no reason to trash her yet..I watered today the little plants. The pot had stopped from getting lighter . I have not watered yet the big plants.
No i do not feed them . Only unphed water.ok.. well one definitely looks better than the other.. might be worth only growing the better one, but still no reason to trash her yet..
does the pot feel really light? same as yesterday?
if so i m sorry but i forget if your feeding them or not..
if so what would it be and how much?
I also put a paper towel under the pots to drain the moisture. The water then expands to the bigger surface of the paper towel which gets hit by the circulating fans. Faster evaporation of moisture. Just to be sure.No i do not feed them . Only unphed water.

Yes. Ill water tommorow.ok how do you feel about watering the better looking one?
is the pot really light weight?
looking at her she seems fine but it’s probably time for watering..
I have not watered yet and they seem fine still. The little ones have started to yellow though. I will probably wait a little more. Especially for the little ones because they are stunned too as it seems. The water evaporates so slowly .how’s it today?
you water them?
did they get dropping 30 mins after watering?
Yep. I have learnt my lesson. Why should i move them further though?ok cool
i think you see the effects how watering too frequently can affect plants now.. at least with the medium your using at the moment.. some dry out quicker some slower..
i think you should maybe move the little ones further away from the light, 10 inches..
I have also moved the humidity to around 64% just to lessen the transpiration rate. Just to make them drink less water and not get worse. Does this make sense? Or should i get it again to 60?Yep. I have learnt my lesson. Why should i move them further though?
