Achieve Optimal Plant Growth: How to Measure Rockwool Moisture Content with a Sensor and Smartphone
Rockwool is a popular growing medium for hydroponics and greenhouse gardens. While it offers excellent aeration and drainage, maintaining optimal moisture levels is crucial for healthy plant growth. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering will stunt growth and yield. This article outlines a simple and convenient method for measuring rockwool moisture content using a sensor, handheld reader, and mobile app. This system, comprised of the APAS T1 sensor , ISHTAR 1P-BLE reader , and SHUSHAN Mobile app , provides real-time data to ensure your plants receive the perfect amount of water. As an alternative to the ISHTAR 1P-BLE, you can use the SUMERIT 2P-BLED control and monitoring node, which will allow for reading two sensors and automatic irrigation scheduling. Benefits of Using a Sensor-Based System: Accuracy: Eliminate guesswork! Sensors provide precise moisture readings, allowing you to make info...
