Dry-Back Triggered Irrigation (Automated) ⚙️ Equipment

An irrigation method where substrate moisture sensors detect when VWC drops to a set threshold and automatically trigger the next watering cycle without manual intervention.

Dakota describes this as the first grow where he has never hand-watered — instead, Pulse monitors the dry-back and triggers the Open Sprinkler to run a feed event. He reports 'growth out of control' in 11 days, crediting consistent automated feeding.
