Well, then I would recommend setting it aside and use it as a decoration or something. If you keep watering that plant when that meter tells you to, she will be drowned by the end of the week.

what if I use it as triple checking like if my finger didn't get wet enough or the weight wasn't high enough, i'm very new so without numbers I can't rest assured that I'm doing things right or wrong, I don't got experience to relay on it only experience I got has been with these three seedlings, one died a month ago (tested out door and deset wind has broken its stem...), one is still growing (the oldest of them hopefully survives) and the other is this one that I'm sweating over. I'm really sorry I didn't mean to upset anyone.

Once again, get an identical pot to the one your plant is in.
Fill it with the same soil you used for the pot your plant is in.
Note its weight. Put it on a scale if you want.
Since your plant has already been watered, note its weight or weigh it.
Wait until the watered pot is at least 50% between the dry and watered weight.

Using numbers, say the watered pot is 5000g and the dry pot is 1000g. That means from dry to fully watered, the water weighs 4000g, so wait until the pot dries up 2000g and water when the wet pot goes down to 3000g.

You haven't upset anybody. We are telling you that those meters aren't very accurate. If you keep watering the plant when that meter tells you when to, it's gonna drown. Leave that plant alone for a day or two and let it dry out some.

its defensively heavier than its dry counter part I would say It has 6 liter of water in there but is dripping from the bottom slowly. ( its a tall pot cylinder shaped)

Bro I wish I had that recharge spray but I think its recovering, some of the leaves started to curl on the plant causing shadow and lower leaves were dead in the dirt so I just trimmed what looked dead and replaced some of the soil with pit moss and perlite (50/50) then left it, I just hope that the leaves that she got can help her ( can detect around 2 cm of growth from 3 days ago) should I put it under the the 1000 w or keep it under 100w for few more days ?
(one thing is we use evaporative cooling units in our country so no AC but humidty is mostly up during day (50-60% 22-26 C) but I tried monitoring for 24 hours and at night it reaches 30-35 % and around 5-6 am it reaches 20 % with 19-20 c temp even tho lights are on... why? can misting damage them at night ?)

had another older plant having some issues, can some let me know if the "others.jpg" plant has nitrogen toxicity ?

one more problem I forgot to mention now that I realize it my roof is 2 m (78.5 inches) high in the growth room so around 1.2 m left with lights and pots is there a way for me to lower the plant and make it grow side ways like those climbing plant that go around pipes and stuff ?

okay wow, I can finally breath but tbh its been so much fun, caring for germinating new seeds, caring for seedlings , potting repotting I hadn't had time to drink a drop of booze and I call that a win, these plants are putting joy in my life and I love it.

yea kind of stressful but i doubt I need training for it, I heard topping and my brother actually thought me but the plant lost lots of foliage and idk where the cut needs to be anymore. I'm worrying about the fertilizers tho I only got 20-20-20 and 30-10-10, any mono one I found is super expensive like 0-52-34 is beyond my yearly paycheck what numbers do I need in the future ?

Seed or clone starts in a 3x3x3 inch and transplants to a 6x6x8 inch only when rootbound. No transplant shock ever. The plants explode in fresh growth the next day as the roots bite into fresh nutrient rich soil.

I don't usually let them get this tall or grow into the veg lights and burn the top leaf, but I've done them this way for many years and never lost a plant. Cannabis hates having its roots messed with. Not a root knocked out of place and not one grain of soil dropped.

Let that pot get feather light before you water again. Even let the plant wilt a time or two just to show you how badly you're overwatering. Small plants in big pots stay wet for days and grow slow. Big plants in small pots drink fast and can be push hard with frequent feedings. Small plants in huge pots you wait and wait and it is still wet and wait more and.......

I'd put that back in a 3x3x3 in pot and let it get at least 8 inches tall.
