The key is knowing both when and how much to water!

Maintaining a healthy soil moisture and water balance is essential for producing high quality plants.

  • Under-watered plants suffer from nutrient deficiencies, stunting and wilting.
  • Over-watered plants are more susceptible to disease pressure and less tolerant of dry conditions later on in their life cycle.
  • Extreme over-watering will suffocate the plant and lead to root death.

 The Soil Sensor

  • Measures Volumetric Water Content (VWC) of soil
  • Capacitance-type sensor responds immediately to changes in soil moisture content for better irrigation decisions
  • Calibrated for mineral soils or soilless media
  • Installs easily into 3/4 in (1.9 cm) hole
  • Install permanently or use to take spot measurements
  • Can be read with the iGrow 1000 Series Controllers.
  • Connect up to 5 Soil sensors per iGrow Controller.
