once they start the new growth, they will just explode over a couple days. Looks great bro, keep them green
The best way I have found is to actually pick up the container and feel how heavy it is. pick it up after watering and feel the weight. I usually let my soil get really dry in between waterings and when I pick it up, it is much much lighter than before. MJ loves to have dry feet from time to time.
This might sound like a very stupid question. How often do you water/nute your plants?
I was just going to go by putting my finger into the soil about an inch or two. If it is dry....water if not leave as is.
Does this sound like the way to do it?

Thanks for the tip. That sounds like a great way to do it. Looks like I might have a few days before the plants will get the BPN nutes. I am not going to be in a hurry . However, I am really looking forward to get your superiour nutes to work!!!
I have already mixed up a batch of nutes that is being airated now. It is from your seedling recipe mixture. They will have to patiently wait till my soil is dry. Before I water, I am going to pick up to get a feel of the difference from when after I water.
If light enough. I might do a Sisco dance with my plants!! I am not sure if I will record though. I am not a good dancer like him. And I don't have a cool mask either.
OMM!!! I absolutely LOVE the airpots. They are well made and look like they will be very easy to clean and reuse!!! Great advise!!!
18 days now without a cigarrette. Today is my first day without the patch. I am almost totally nicotine free!
Hello CF !
Looking good....going to have many tops on the those girls soon. Some one already answered the watering question. I do the pick up the pot thing to know when to water, but most of the time I can tell by just looking at them.
Great on quitting! I think this is 4 days without now.....I just don't smoke anymore at all, so I quit counting.
!!!Good on Both of US !!! We did it !!!

I will never top again!!!! From now on I will FIM!! Every one of my plants are showing 4 new tops that are all comming out at the same height. I think FIMing is less stressful too. Because after I did it the plants did not even stop growing for a second from the stress. Plants are really showing great growth !!!
Put a paper bag on and dance your heart out to the rhythm and have fun with it..so then we could too. LOL
Those girls are doing great, can't wait to see them under the BPN and Air Pot influence.

They look awesome! Your FIM work was right on the money. Keep it looking green bro!
Right On CF !
For soil I use a waterstik meter for moisture. The device blinks in color code; blue means overwatered, green just right, yellow water soon, and red water now! So no need to stick my fingers or lifting the pot. Not sure how secure the bottom of your airpots are, but when I lifted mine the bottom fell out (due to the weight of the plants) and it was a mess. I then learn to secure the bottom with cable tides just for security when handle. The finger test into the top layer should also work.
Great work on FIMming the plants. They're looking good.

I just stuck my finger in the soil again. The soil is still moist. It looks like I will be watering tomorrow. Plants are really liking the new soil!
I did lift up the plants with no problem with the pots. That would be a mess if the pot became disconnected!!
I like your idea of a waterstik meter. I will look into that!
Guess who just got some BPN
