Hi yall,
For those that read my intro post, thank you for your wonderful advice and your warm welcome. I hope we can all be friends and I like the atmosphere here. Everyone seems super helpful and nobody seems condescending or rude when someone is ill informed or making a mistake. Ill be sticking around
Anyhow, I have little baby stunted plants that look probably about 4 to 6 weeks behind. I was apparently over watering, the pots still feel a little heavy on the bottom but the top soil is pretty dry for about the first inch or so. It's gonna be a dry day today, but tomorrow mid day it's supposed to start raining and do so on and off all day.
Being that i was most likely over watering and just messing up my watering practices, I was thinking of just bringing them inside tomorrow morning in my sun room. I have a digital ph and moisture meter, that if I stick the electrode more than like 5 or 6 inches Into the pot, it says the soil is wet, which is probably about halfway down the pot. [Pretty sure they're 2 gallon pots] If that doesn't change by tomorrow morning, I'm thinking I should put them inside, but I know that rain water is very healthy for them. What do you guys think? Should i keep them out for like the first 10 minutes of the rain so they get a little of it, or just put them inside. Im supposed to get about a quarter of an inch of rain over the day. Last watering they had was collected rain water on Wednesday, so it's def beein a few days. I use FFOF for my medium and they were just put into bigger pots a week ago. I think that day I transplanted I watered too much (and throughout the rest of the process, I'm learning! Lol)
I was informed that roots chase the moisture downward, so if it stays too wet, they won't really grow, and I'm trying to prevent any further stunting. Thanks for reading.
I can take some pics if need be and sorry if I seem stupid.
