The issue is neither the finger test or cheap moisture meters give an accurate idea of whats actually going on in the soil, especially in peat where poor watering practices can lead to dry pockets that repel water and become dead zones for growth.  The bigger the pot the more on point your watering needs to be and once you’re past 5-7gal it’s impractical to lift then so you really need to rely on your skill instead.
