aqua globes? any one use them?

[bmx4ever86]

ok so all my life i have always had trouble keeping plants alive. i do everything right except watering them. i almost lost my first grow the last 2 weeks because i screwed up watering! i think i gave to much cause i didnt water them for a week and they are looking better so they were really dry and i put some more in them today. please any help on watering plants and how to know when to water them. the aqua globe clams it waters plants perfect cause once the soil dries enough it gets oxygen in it and in turn allows an oxygen bubble into the aqua globe in exchange for water so this will give your plants the water it needs as the soil dries. makes since and seems like it would work please post like crazy i love growing cannabis i have only been at it for about 4 weeks and i have found a new hobby i really enjoy. now i would just like to be able to do it.

On my 3rd successful grow now using the aquaglobe. There are other threads in here i've posted about using it.

Why not just buy a moisture meter and know for sure when it needs watering? I wouldn't trust something that you buy off t.v. to water my plants! Buy a moisture reader and water it when it needs it!

were can i get a moister meter at and one that is accurate ive heard that unless you buy a nice one your going to get false readings!

I got a moisture/PH/light meter at a pet supply store for like $8 or something. Sure its kinda cheap but it seems to work just fine. I also bought litmus paper to compare PH readings with. I've never tried it but the aqua globe thing seems like it would work well on an outdoor crop where you cant frequent the grow spot to water. Indoors should be simple enough i suppose but seems unnecessary. If the soil is moist, it does not need water. When it dries out, water it good but make sure its not soaking. I usually wait until i see a decent amount of runoff.

Home Depot, Lowes, or a plant supply store!

I use an aqua globe for my grows
works perfectly
just fill it up
GENTLY (some people said they got hurt? dumb fucks...)
Gently insert it in loose dirt on side of your plant all way down into the dirt.

when the soil gets dry the oxygen it releases travels up the aqua globe and releases the water until the soil is wet

i love this thing
all i have to do is fill it up and check on it once n a while
then of course i mist my plants 3-4 times a day
works well with beautiful results

very convenient cuz i can leave for a couple days and not worry bout anything.

I use these for my houseplants and they seem to do pretty well. I refill in about a week in my dry climate.

I used an aquaglobe on my first grow because I was so paranoid about overwatering - but my plants always looked thirsty. Sure enough...the aqua globe would be bone dry in a day. So I started watering more and just left it there as backup. So, yes, I'd say it helped.

dude just put your fingers in the soil about 1-2 inches deep if the soil feels moist slightly moist then dont water untill its dry, often people over water rather than underwater if that meakes sense
