VWC (Volumetric Water Content) sensor 🌡️ Environment

A soil probe that measures the percentage of water volume in a given volume of substrate, used to monitor moisture levels and dry-back cycles in growing media.

Dakota describes the Pulse VWC probe as one of his favorite monitors. It is inserted into the living soil bed to track irrigation dry-backs, soil EC, and moisture data, allowing growers to determine when and how much to irrigate.
