Blumat Digital Soil Moisture Sensor

I bought 2of these items (the first one few months ago ) and it matches the description. The other one I bought recently, and it’s defective..I want to send it back, but the seller refuses to provide with return label and refund . I strongly discourage dealing with this seller.

Works great and very accurate and once it's setup it's easy to check how much water is in the soil.

Ich habe dieses gerät seit einer woche im einsatz und habe es bereits an verschiedenen kübelplanzen täglich mehrfach getestet. besonders positiv haben mich die hochausgeprägten quantitaven ergebnisse und die überzeugende meßmethode über den wurzelansaugdruck überrascht. sehr gut auch die beiliegende anleitung mit vielen praktischen pflanzenbeispielen und deren optimale bewässerung. mich verwundert, dass hier einige kunden systeme anpreisen, die nicht die wasserverfügbarkeit für die pflanzen, sondern die elektrische leitfähigkeit der erde/des substrates messen und selbst das sehr ungenau bis unbefriedigend; die außer billig kaum zu gebrauchen sind.

Parfait correspond à mes attentes

This is an amazing product and all the bad reviews don’t know what they are talking about. I grow in organic living soil (BAS 3.0) and this thing taught me how to water. I also own an Irrometer but I like these Blumat tensiometers better because you don’t have to fiddle with air bubbles which is a major PITA for the irrometer, so now I own 3 of these digital ones. You just soak for an hour, shake underwater to get any bubbles out, and then screw the top on filled to the brim. Done. Follow the instructions pamphlet. Only 2-4 inches from the edge of the pot, 8 inches deep. 50-120 mbar. I put them straight in the soil even with pumice chunks with no reading issues. I have one each in a 20 gallon and two 15 gallon pots. Jeremy from Buildasoil recommends keeping the 3.0 soil wetter around 40-80 mbar in veg and I agree if I go dryer than that I get nute burn from not having enough moisture. Then after stretch 80-120 mbar for flower. If you are using KIS Organics soil, Tad recommends 80-120 mbar. These are precise instruments and if you set it up properly then that means it is reading properly, so if you see a reading for the first time and think it’s off it’s not, it’s just that section of soil really is that wet or dry. The only con is that the digital top is not waterproof, but the tube it comes in makes for a perfect cap. I cut the end off about 4 inches and keep it over the top at all times.
