Why you should invest in a nutrient dosing system

Nutrient dosing or delivery systems are often associated with precision irrigation, automation, and convenience. However, the high up-front costs and sticker shock can frighten growers into putting off buying the equipment, even though most admit that the investment eventually pays off.

In a recent post on its blog page, Growlink outlines how reduced resource waste, lower labor requirements, and saving time are just a few of the things that can convince growers to invest in their cultivation facilities' nutrient or fertilizer delivery systems.

Using a sophisticated series of sensors, these systems monitor EC and pH levels in the water. Exceptional systems can be reached using a mobile app to generate parameters, set rules, and build room-specific recipes in real-time. In response to the rules the grower creates, batch tanks are filled by pumps or feed plants for a calculated duration. Advanced systems are connected via software for constant feedback to improve yields consistently.
