I just transplant my plants into 5 gal fabric pots with happy frog soil n perlite 4 days ago. I use the soil meter and the first few inches of the soil is dry but the the bottom is still very much moist. Should I water again or wait until the bottom dries.

does the roots go all the way down(established plant)? else water very lightly just around the plant frequently. Doesnt the humidity in the earth spread? with mushy earth lowest i would let the(like always) the pot get light and almost dry out. its not worth the risk of root rot
Does it have an ok drain?

Let it dry until it feels light the top always dries first. Then notice its weight.Then water again. Notice its wet weight .Forget about days go how heavy it feels

If the bottom is stiil " very moist" , then it doesn't need any water. Let the roots reach for it
