Want to unlock your plants’ full potential? It all comes down to drybacks! In this episode, we break down how managing drybacks—aka the reduction in substrate moisture between irrigation cycles—can boost root health, improve nutrient uptake, and steer your crop exactly where you want it. Learn how to calculate drybacks using volumetric water content (VWC), the difference between small (5-10%) and large (15-30%) drybacks for vegetative vs. generative growth, and how factors like strain sensitivity and substrate type come into play. We’ll also dive into how precise sensors and real-time data can help you dial in the perfect irrigation strategy. Tune in and take control of your grow!
