Grow SubSense

Correct positioning of the SubSense probe ensures accurate and consistent measurements of moisture, EC, and temperature, helping you make informed irrigation and nutrient decisions.

Rockwool cubes and slabs

  • Place the probe 1 inch from the bottom of the Rockwool cube or slab.

  • If using a Rockwool slab, position the probe equidistant between two plants to ensure balanced and representative readings.

Coco coir and organic substrates

The ideal placement varies based on pot size:

  • 1-gallon coco pots → 1 inch from the bottom

  • 2-gallon coco pots → 2 inches from the bottom

  • 3-gallon coco pots and larger → 3 inches from the bottom

Why proper probe placement matters

  • Ensures precise substrate data for moisture, EC, and temperature.

  • Helps optimise watering and feeding schedules.

  • Provides consistent root-zone readings, leading to healthier plant growth.
