    Default Soil not drying out in pots

    Using biobizz light inside the pots, 29° inside tent , harldy drying out getting frustrating, any tips? I pre soaked the soil with microbe tea to kick start the soil before germinating , on week 2 so far and soil at the bottom of the pot won't dry out, I'm guessing the autos are not big enough yet to pull the water up ? Should I leave till completely dry before watering? I assume as the ladies grow they will pull more water and fix this issue ?

    Let the top 2" dry before watering bud,are they sitting in water if so drain away the water so the bottom of the pots arent sitting in run off.

    Drying tops is what u lookin for, not bottoms. Let your bottom dry out and deficincies will kick in.

    Sounds like you may have drainage problem. Does your soil have added perlite or something to help drainage ? What size are your pots and plants? If small plants in large pots water lightly directly around the plant, not fully water until plants are big enough to uptake more.
