Can anybody tell by feeling their leaves if they not too much or not enough water?

I think the plants would adapt to regular watering...signs of too much/little would show if the flood/drain was inconsistent or irregular

I can't tell by the feel of the leaves...brushing other more sensitive areas may bring a much firmer result

Some of my tomato stems actually bend and buckle and seem to be full of water. If they hang down they seem to be affected, but if I make sure that they are always growing vertically and trim lower branches off I don't have this problem. My timer is 1/2 hr on and 1 hr off.

Some types of plants are easy to tell if too much/too little water and there are even some that you can tell easily by feeling the leaves of the plant (primary one I know about is Aloe and not likely to be a prime AP plant though I do have some in my system.)
