The water content of the substrate provides the reservoir of the water and nutrients for the plant. Changing the water content is a usefull tool in controlling the plant balance and also maintaining root heath (How to change the water content).
In the Season Dynamics for each crop we suggest target levels for the water content for each of the critical periods. This is done for specific reasons in each period:
The range of water contents used would be from 45% to 70%. The volume of substrate used is also a key factor (How much substrate do I use?)
Measure you slab in an organised way using a WET meter and set target water content objectives for the different periods.
