I am curious I would like to know how many days do you usually wait till you water again?

Yes I KNOW YOU WAIT UNTIL THE TOP 2" is dry, but how about the center? I noticed while transplanting today the top soilless would be slightly dry but the center still very moist.

Temp: 79F
Humid: 43%
600w HPS air cooled
1 foot away from top of plant

I don't go by the 2 inch rule. You want your roots to reach for that water and grow. I have 5 gallon pots and I go by their weight. I have a small scale and weigh them dry and then water them until I get water coming out the bottom of the pot, then I weigh them again. That is just so if I'm stoned I can check the weight, usually you can just feel the weight and tell when they need water. Mine are in flower right now and both pushing 2ft tall. They need water once every 3-4 days but there are many variables to how much your plants will need. Weight of your pot is the best indicator in my humble opinion.
