watering question

[treetree]

Hi, first time poster... need some asvice. On 5/30 i planted my cubes with seedlings into larger pots, used fox farm soil, watered thoroughly until excess water came out of the bottom. Today is june 1 and i have to leave until sunday.. the top inch or so of soil feels dry.. i did the lift the pot method and the pot is definetly lighter than before.. should i water again or maybe lightly .. any advice is greatly appreciated . Thank you.

Since you just plopped the cube in the roots really only dwell in thaat layer of soil. The plant will send a tap root down to get the water from the lower layers after a week or so. I like the finger test in this stage. Stick your finger in up till the second knuckle and if it feels dry water it. After the plant has a week er two spreading it's roots into the new container I would switch to the lifting method.

I did that and it feel like the soil is still wet but not as much
