Grow Gadgets Digital Moisture Meter for Soil and Coco

Precise Moisture Readings, No More Watering by Feel

The Grow Gadgets Digital Moisture Meter makes sure your plants always get the right amount of water - no more over or under-watering. Push the probe into the medium and you get an instant reading on a clear digital display, covering a range from 5% to 40% saturation. It suits soil, coco and other substrates, and is equally handy for testing dried plant materials such as lavender or tea. Supplied with a 9 volt battery and a protective carry case.

Key Benefits

• Instant moisture readings from anywhere in the pot or bed
• 5% to 40% saturation range, from bone dry to fully watered
• Prevents root rot caused by overwatering media that never dry back
• Avoids wilting from pots that dried out sooner than expected
• Works in soil, coco and other substrates
• 9 volt battery and carry case supplied

Are You Watering by Guesswork?

Lifting pots to judge weight works until you have plants of different sizes in one room. Overwatering suffocates the root zone and brings on rot, giving weak roots, poor nutrient uptake and the slow growth usually blamed on feed or light. Swing the other way and plants wilt and finish with low yields. Saturated media also push room humidity up, the last thing you want in late flower.

How to Use

• Insert the probe: push it into the growing medium at root depth, not just the surface
• Read: take the instant reading on the 5% to 40% saturation scale
• Check more than one spot: test a couple of points per pot to find dry corners and drip-line gaps
• Act on it: water when the reading has dropped back rather than on a fixed timetable
• Dried material: insert into the dried product for a quick moisture check before storing
• Aftercare: wipe the probe clean after use and return it to the carry case
