Volumetric Water Content (VWC) Sensor
The SUNSCAPE Volumetric Water Content (VWC) Sensor is engineered to deliver laboratory-grade root-zone data directly into your cultivation workflow. Leveraging advanced Time Domain Resonance (TDR) technology and proprietary signal processing calibrated specifically for hydroponic media such as coco and high-porosity substrates, the SUNSCAPE VWC sensor provides highly accurate, precise, and reliable moisture measurements—without drift or noise common in lower-grade probes.
Designed for seamless deployment, the sensor integrates directly with OpenSprinkler Controls, enabling automated irrigation decisions based on real-time root-zone data. The result is optimized watering events, reduced runoff, tighter environmental control, and maximized plant performance.
By coordinating with Electrical Conductivity (EC) and Root Zone Temperature sensors, the SUNSCAPE VWC–Empowered Automated Irrigation System transforms irrigation from a timer-based routine into a precision-driven steering strategy. This intelligent system achieves:
- 20–30% Yield Increase
Achieved through optimized dry-backs, consistent substrate moisture targets, and repeatable vegetative-to-generative steering cycles.
- Premium Quality Finish
Precision salinity management within the root zone enhances smoke quality, burn characteristics, terpene retention, and overall flower density.
- 30–40% Reduction in Nutrient & Feed Strength Costs
Real-time EC monitoring prevents overfeeding, minimizes runoff waste, and improves nutrient uptake efficiency—reducing both input costs and environmental load.
