When to start watering whole pot

crimsonecho said:

just water the whole pot and wait till its almost dry. overwatering is not watering too much mostly, its watering too often. if your medium is well aerated it’ll not get waterlogged so you can not overwater by giving too much water at once.

and runoff in organics is not really needed. youre only gonna leach out organic material and stuff. just water till you get 5% and if the medium soaks it back up i a couple of hours dont even bother with dumping it out.

looking healthy tho, keep up the good work!

Please.. just no...

You are using cloth pots not air pots. Soak the soil and don't water until it's dry.

If it's peat-based soil you probably don't want to let any part of it dry out completely, it can get hydrophobic and be difficult to rehydrate. Better to water the whole surface area from the beginning, vs only a small area in the middle. Or bottom-water and remove whatever doesn't get sucked up after 30 mins or so.
