Hi @Nagel420, what moisture meter did you get? Would you buy it again, and what does one look for in choosing one?
I’m still old school, just push my finger down soil and if it’s moist at the second knuckle we’re still good.

This is the one I have…
the pH meter is not that great. keep it clean with a scouring pad for better results (and dont leave it staked in a plant). The light meter is ok I guess. neither pH or light sold me on the unit, I mean, decent pH meters cost 5x as much… but for soil moisture, its decent…
Moist at the tip of your finger, while pushed into the soil to your second knuckle actually matches the midpoint of the “moist” reading most times, so that also works. But not as easy to show someone cause most think moist is dry still… I used to myself…

Ya I use the finger and pot lifting to see if I need to water. When I started out I watered to much, now I let the plants tell me when they want water by when I see the leaves starting to droop a little and this has worked well so far. Plus I feel by keeping a little dryer on top can help with pest, molds, etc.
A moisture meter could also help and it would not hurt by any means and I may get one day.
