They're awesome. Thanks Jason.
 
So tell me about it. Do you put in when you pot the plant? Do yu pull it out to check the moisture?
 
i just stick it in there when im done potting. I check it before I leave for work and when i get back home. when the skewer is almost dry I soak the pot during the next check, its usually completely dry by then, for like 5 minutes in a tray of water/fertilzer water until the sphag is saturated. Under my conditions it takes about 2-4 days to completely dry depending on how hot or cold it is. I do the same thing with my neos potted/mounted the traditional way and anything potted in a bark mix. Works great. It cuts out the guessing work. But i don't think it will do well if you have 50-60 plants to baby. It takes me about an hour everyday. More so during the summer months
