Living soil watering

wait till more of it dries out. to much water will lead to root rot.

Overwatering is difficult to fix, but underwatering is easy to spot and fix. Rather water a bit too little than a bit too much IMO.

Depends on water capacity... e.g. in coco you can re-irrigate when top is still moist or just starting to change colors, while a heavy soil you want to wait for top 1" to dry. You are likely closer to the 1" 'standard' than coco, i'd wager. Just make sure it doesn't wilt. If you have growth on top of soil, that's a sign you should allow more dryback to occur. Fully saturated is a lot of water weight. Water-weight is also an excellent observation to use to trigger an irrigation. If you do so at same loss of weight, it'll require a very similar volume of water to accomplish the task. if you have any issues with the dryback you choose, wait longer...

Get yourself a ec metre for soil. Ec requires salts and water to conduct, when ec gets low or stops then it's time to water, once you water you take ec again to check of the.ec spiked up so somewhere you want it to be. If it's still too low you add ppms to get it to the ec best suited for optimal growth. Ec is essentially how much "shit is getting done" . Simple but highly effective, completely removes the if/maybe doubts. Pots should be fully saturated each watering. Really helps me with my 100 gallon pot. ☺️ makes life easy.

Hey growmie 👋 If the soil still feels moist and the pot is really heavy, you're probably good to wait a bit longer. With living soil, it's often better to let the top few centimeters dry out slightly before watering again – especially if you're not seeing any signs of wilting or deficiency. Overwatering is more common than underwatering in these situations, and roots love that wet-dry cycle. So if in doubt, give it another day or two and check again. ✌️ Happy growing – she’s probably just chillin’ in there 😄🌱

Hei growmie, If is still heavy you must let it dry, or you risk overwatering. Living soil must be kept wet because of the the processnof nutrient release however you can not have it allways damp. I use 50 Liters as well and on the first month is pretty normal only water once in a week or so. If you still dont get the weight right let the first inch of the soil be dry to touch before water again and only water 5 to 10% of the total capacity. Since its been 5 days and is still wet... let it dry a bit more and maybe next watering dont do more than maybe 2L . I hope it helped, Best

Hi, wenn sie noch feucht ist dann warte noch etwas. Sie darf aber nicht zu trocken sein sonst sterben die Mikroorganismen. Ich Würde ein Holzstab in die Erde machen, bis fast ganz unten, wenn du diesen dann rausziehst siehst du bis wo die erde noch Feucht ist und kannst es besser abschätzen. ich mache das immer so und muss dann nicht immer den Topf anheben.
