I've read the stickies about watering but I don't have any moisture meters. I judge when to water based on weight.
I hear it's good to let media dry back, but I also hear it's not good to let soil get hydrophobic.
If I wait 2 days pots are light but I can still press the sides of the fabric pots.
If I wait 3 days the fabric pot is super dry and fairly solid. (This is when I water, still before significant droopage in plants or pants).
Which is better? Super dry and hydrophobic top; or just light but not "bone dry"?
