Best soil mix

not about what we want.. simply the result of the plant drinking and your temps/RH%. the plant will tell you when it is ready.. or the pot in this case. when top knuckle-deep of soil is dry, go ahead and water, but before you do get familiar with the weight of the pot. lift from side with a finger so it's the same leverage each time and you can do it from a reach, if necessary. don't have to put your finger in a pot or shift things around to feel back row. this will also make the required volume of water to saturate entire pot consistent enough for you to plan around. again, we don't pick the volume.. the soil mixture will do that as long as consistent on when you refil (from above). if you change how it is made - maybe, added perlite, it'll hold less than before. soil is good around 50/50 with a perlite or similar amendment to improve drainage.
