Measuring equipment: essential for optimal plant growth
The use of measuring equipment is crucial for maintaining stable and controlled culture conditions. By regularly monitoring key parameters such as pH, EC, temperature and humidity measure, growers can optimise their crops and avoid problems.
At GrowDeal.nl you will find a wide range of measuring equipment, suitable for both beginners as well as experienced growers.
Why is measurement equipment important?
✔ Precise control of growing conditions → Avoid shortages and surpluses
✔ Better absorption of nutrients → Optimise pH and EC values
✔ Improved plant health → Prevent stress from temperature and humidity fluctuations
✔ Higher yield and quality → Maximise growth and flowering
What types of measuring equipment are there?
pH meters
A pH meter measures the acidity of the substrate or nutrient solution. A stable pH is essential for optimal absorption of nutrients.
Suitable for:
✔ Soil, coconut and hydroponic cultivation
✔ Growers wanting to maintain a stable pH level
✔ Plants sensitive to pH fluctuations
EC meters
A EC meter (Electrical Conductivity) measures the salinity in water, indicating the concentration of nutrients. This helps prevent under- or over-fertilisation.
Advantages:
✔ Ensures a balanced nutrient solution
✔ Prevents accumulation of salts in the substrate
✔ Indispensable for hydroponics and precision cultivation
CO₂-meters
CO₂ is a crucial factor for the photosynthesis and plant growth. A CO₂-meter helps monitor and regulate carbon dioxide levels in closed growing rooms.
Suitable for:
✔ Growers using CO₂ systems
✔ Indoor cultivation in enclosed spaces
✔ Maximum growth and higher yields
Humidity meters
A hygrometer measure the humidity in your grow room. Humidity that is too high or too low can lead to mould growth or dehydration.
Advantages:
✔ Prevents mould and plant diseases
✔ Ensures a constant humidity
✔ Ideal for indoor and greenhouse environments
Temperature gauges
A stable temperature is essential for healthy plant growth. A temperature gauge helps monitor and adjust growing conditions.
Suitable for:
✔ Indoor cultivation and greenhouses
✔ Controlling air flows and ventilation
✔ Maintaining a optimal growth temperature
How do you maintain measuring equipment?
- Calibrate regularly - Use the right calibration liquids to ensure accurate measurements.
- Cleaning after use - Prevent contamination and accumulation of minerals by regularly cleaning the probes.
- Store correctly - Store measuring instruments according to the instructions to extend lifespan.
