I agree. The float indicators move freely though so I don’t think that’s the issue. The top of the soil is moist and the girls are certainly growing. I imagine if I don’t get this resolved I’ll just be watering several times daily when they really start churning...Something else must also be amiss though. The reservoir to hole height ratio should be fairly linear. So if you're only able to fill half of what others can, but your hole is still roughly 6/7ths of recommended you must have something else at issue.
Said another way, half the reservoir volume should be a hole at 1.75" (roughly), but yours is mostly the right height.
Maybe Buds is right about roots affecting the proper functioning of the float indicator.
