Moisture meter recommendations?

Thing is with moisture meters unless the soil is compact it will give a false reading.
They take time to get used to.

I don’t personally recommend them however some do & it’s not about what I prefer it’s about what suits you.

I don’t like them because your breaking the roots & there not that accurate if your soil isn’t compact enough.

Lifting pots takes time to get used to so I fully understand why you would want one , just be sure the soils compact or it can read the moisture properly

Good luck and enjoy the adventure :)

We have been having some amazingly nice weather, weird for this time of year.
Oh weather. Um... no I don't think it rained that day b
I think I'm going to help myself to another dab. I've been really enjoying gelato recently. I'm looking forward to harvest on my Sherbinski's grow. How's work and the fam?
I just had 2 dabs myself. Not sure what flavor.
Ahhh... Gelato. Is probably one of my favorites! I really miss the Gelato I was growing.

Work is crazy, like always. I'm glad I've become an intrigal part of the operation but it's demanding.

I'm gonna be a step grandpa, so that's kinda cool. July 2nd is when the baby is due.
Little fkr already blowin clouds!!!

The meters in question are for measuring the moisture content of lumber or curing bud branches.

But I've only used it for wood.
Cannabis is wood. Just stick the pins in a stem. Not sure how useful a measurement that is but I was reading on grove bags website they recommend bagging when buds have 13% moisture content, so I thought I'd try that. I jarred them when the stem of an average bud reached that point, maybe 5 days after harvest and they quickly rebounded into a humidity range suitable for curing.

Ohm: if you have a meter maybe you could correlate for us cheap guys.
