Soil Moisture - Foundation for Healthy Growth
Soil moisture plays a crucial role in the life of your favorite plants. It refers to the water content in the soil, which directly affects the availability of nutrients and oxygen to the roots. Optimal soil moisture ensures that cannabis plants thrive by providing enough water for growth and development, without causing waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Balanced soil moisture supports microbial activity in the soil and promotes efficient nutrient uptake.
Soil moisture is automatically regulated in your Timberjane, achieved through fine-tuning all important components - soil composition, sensors, and watering system. The result is optimal growth conditions and healthy yields.
Composition: Soil always consists of various components - humus, sand, clay, etc. The mixing ratio is crucial for the amount of nutrients or water that can be stored.
Root Respiration: Oxygen is just as important as water.
Nutrient Uptake: Moist soil promotes the solubility and availability of nutrients.
Soil Life: The right soil moisture can promote the growth of microorganisms that are important for plant health.
Drought Stress: Too low soil moisture increases susceptibility to pests and diseases.
Water Storage: Cannabis plants can take up to 90% of their weight in water.
Fun Fact:
Soil moisture influences the production of terpenes in cannabis, which in turn affects the aroma and taste of the plant.
