just a quick thought: we usse similar media to the stuff you are mixing. we were told to soak the bark for a couple days before using it to help with the water retention issue.

might give it a try to jut not hae to water every day for a week. but honestly, wer never did that anyway! also, with this similar medium we water once a week by the soaking method.

thank you that's good to know. I did soak the medium before repotting but I've also been watering more frequently since they have seemed dry. Ultimately I would like to do a 1-2 times/week water but it will depend on how they react under my HPS light, which is somewhat hot.

How long do you soak for your watering?
