GrowControl RootSense Kit – Substrate Sensor for the Root Zone

Descripción

The RootSense Kit extends your GrowBase Pro WiFi climate controller with precise measurement inside the substrate. The sensor records volumetric water content (VWC), pore-water conductivity (pwEC) and substrate temperature, so you can follow changes in the root zone based on real readings – a basis for crop steering and judging drybacks and EC trends.

High-frequency dielectric measurement captures water content largely independently of EC and salt fluctuations. Irrigation can be time-controlled or VWC-controlled, and a relay output drives one irrigation zone via valve or pump.
