My soil is always moist and
doesn't Dry out for days..
Is this a good thing..???
I image that the plant
My plants are seedling..
I have them in a large size
32.oz cup.. With holes at the
Bottom of the cup...
The cups sit in a container filled
With ph water about half way
Of the cups... so the plant always
Has access to water...

Listen. Let it dry out, But in the next feeding give some nutes. Before every water, Stick your finger down about 3-4' and check if its moist, If it is, Let it go for another day or so. Or another method is measing its dry weight, Then measure moist weight. On watering day, compare it to the dry weight. Remember to always keep the same amount of soil in your pots, Don't let it come out. good luck bongsmilie

yikes. yes, some people still say that when they hear something they are amazed at. get those containers out of the water right away. you will get root rot. you want exactly the opposite - for the roots to have access to oxygen from the atmosphere. so you want to water from the top and let excess water flow from the bottom such that the bottom of your containers are exposed to air even after you;ve just watered. make sense?
