Are you planting the moisture meter on the very bottom or near the top? The closer it gets to the bottom, the more wet its gonna read on the meter. Be sure to stick the moisture meter about 3 inches down and monitor how dry it is. If its getting a bit dry, supplement the plants with some water. Marijuana plants can go for days without water, just don't neglect them for too long.

if its one of those "tri meters", they suck anyway..Actually I have heard all of those moisture meters are unreliable.. I wouldnt depend on a meter.. Do you have drainage holes in the bottom of your container?
