Lesson 6 — Monitoring: Pour-Thru, Logs, Adjustments
Goal: measure media pH/EC so you can steer crops.
Weekly monitoring routine
- Pick a consistent day/time
- Sample “typical” containers in each key block
- Record pH/EC + notes (weather, irrigation changes)
Adjustment rules
- Make small changes, then re-test.
- Fix irrigation/leaching problems before adding more fertilizer.
