Soil drying out quick.
Thanks for everyones input. I'm still trying to work out my camera issues. Pics to follow later. My soil was drying out very quick and I think I know why now. I think it had to do with extremely high temps. Temps were not something that I was concerned about. I would put my hand over the vent fan and say to myself, " oh, that feel about 75-80 deg. F." One day, I was at the Big Orange Box store and picked up a cheap thermometer. Came home and put it in my box and the temp was about 93 deg. Well, since my plants are still in veg. stage, I keep the lights on most of the night and use a deflector on the vent fan to keep the light down so I can sleep. That shot the temp up to about 112 deg. Got the box ventilated better and my plants have just gone crazy. Over doubled in size in just a week and I only need to water about every 4th day. Lesson to self--Temps are Very Important!!!!
