Thanks for replying SL.

Well, with reference to the method and accuracy, most people advise me to use the weighing method in order to know when the plant needs watering, it seems a common method.

I weighed the pots before i put the germinated seedlings in there, then i soaked the soil and put the germinated seedlings in, so i had figures from day zero.

It's only recently that the weight-loss has happened.

Someone else said something along the lines of what you were saying about the ability of the soil to hold water.

Do you grow in soil ? If so what tells you when it is time to water them ?


Thanks,
