question for everyone, how long can you get away without watering promix? I grow in doors under LED (not too hot) and like to leave sometimes for a week. Can a plant survive? Considering promix

I have had it get pretty dry and had no problems with the plant. The only problem is that after it dries out you need to soak it to get it to absorb water again. I will dunk my pots in a bucket. Otherwise the water runs down the inside of the pot and out the drain holes without soaking the soil.

Dr Earth soil forms a crust that is the same. However, when I break the crust the water flows right through the soil. Too quickly sometimes!

Also helps to water slowly around the plant a little at a time so the water can wet the soil. Mo is right though. If it becomes too dry you will need to immerse it in a bucket to re-wet it.
