WCS-2

Product description

Monitoring your growing medium for the right moisture percentage and electrical conductivity (EC) is an important factor in high-yield growing applications. TrolMaster understands that today’s ‘crop steering’ method involves more precise control of the quantity and strength of nutrients in the growing medium to achieve the best results. The WCS-2 water content sensor gives users an accurate, simple way to monitor their growing medium. The WCS-2 consists of a multi-pin sensor assembly that is inserted into your growing medium. Once the WCS-2 has been calibrated to your growing medium and nutrients, it provides consistent readings of the actual water content of the growing medium, the temperature of the growing medium and also the EC of the growing medium. You can even set alarm ‘limits’ for each variable monitored by the WCS-2 so that remote notifications are sent via the TrolMaster or TM+ apps.
