Hey guys,
Since I am a newb this year, I did make the mistake with my first couple of plants to overwater and kill them (2 plants). Since then I have backed way off the watering.
I did buy 2 different soil moisture gauges (just to see which I like better).
So I have been testing my soil religiously everyday. I allow the peppers to get to "dry" before watering. However over the past couple of days it seems that its almost everyday or every 2 days. This is reading down to about 4-5" down.
The only difference being that my peppers are starting to fruit/bloom.
The peppers are in well drained raised beds and 5 gallon pots with a mix of Kellog Garden Soil and Kellog Potting mix (about 50/50 ratio)
Does this sound about right? I just dont want to overwater again.
What say ye for the noob?
