Grow Mediums MassMom's Ongoing AutocCob, AutoPot, AutoFlower Adventure :-)

I use them and they work pretty well. I especially like them to check moisture in solo cups and the critical first 10 days. They are accurate too. You can see the accuracy actually. Put the probe in an inch and as you lower it down you can see the reading change exactly like it should. Put it in dry medium it reads dry. Put it in wet and it reads wet. But I think they can fail pretty easily so you have to watch that.

well this over-watering mama sure needs one, ha ha. I ordered a new one through amazon and it should be here in a few days. God I love Amazon.

One video says put the copper root control disk face side up in the tray.
The other video says put it face side down in the pot???

It doesnt matter which was to put the cooper IMO. I have done it both ways and didn't see a difference at all. But I do have the pot socks which are similar but they are a sock instead of just a flat sheet. And the copper side faces the bottom of the pot, not facing the tray.

I imagine in a small pot they work well for moisture. The pH side of those are no where near right. I did some testing of soil samples once to compare and the meter was over 0.5-1.0 off. Not a good thing when growing cannabis.

yeah i saw those and kind of liked them.... and the copper faces the pot. which logically makes sense. if the roots dont like the copper, then the copper should be facing the pot.
so, root control disks face up in the tray I am going to do.

I don’t know of what you speak. I deny it all emphatically.

Maybe it was just someone whos name sounded like yours.

Still sitting patiently (yeah, right) waiting for some seed action. My lord this part seems to take forever, LOL.
(2) in root riots that have not shown their pretty heads, and (1) in a paper towel taking her time.

I find weed barrier cloth works just as well and haven’t purchased anymore of theirs since.
