THC-S Soil Sensor Calibration Container
Description
This is a straightforward, one-gallon container created to assist in the calibration of the THC-S moisture sensor, particularly for people working with coco coir or similar substrates. Its design incorporates specific features aimed at ensuring an effective and repeatable calibration process, while also catering to basic plant growth needs. Design Features: Volume: The container holds exactly one gallon, a choice that standardizes the amount of substrate used during calibration, making it easier to calculate the Volumetric Water Content (VWC). Air Pruning Holes: There are 5mm holes on the sides of the container, added to allow air to circulate through the coco coir, facilitating even drying when used for calibration and providing air pruning benefits to roots if used for growing plants. Drainage Holes: The bottom hosts a series of 3mm holes designed for efficient drainage, helping to prevent waterlogging by letting excess water easily escape. Sensor Ports: Specific holes are provided to insert moisture sensors consistently in the same location and orientation, aiming to reduce variables in sensor readings during the calibration process. Purpose: The primary goal of this container is to offer a reliable method for calibrating moisture sensors, with a clear standard in terms of substrate volume and sensor placement. The additional features, such as air pruning and adequate drainage, are basic considerations to facilitate its secondary use as a planting container, if desired. This container is intended for those looking to ensure accurate moisture readings in their hydroponic systems or soilless growing environments by providing a standardized tool for sensor calibration.
