FAQ

Before you order.

Both read water content, EC and temperature into the same app. Most rooms take SubSense, the default in the complete system. SOLYX 14 still does the same job, with the edge in extreme high-EC conditions.

Placement depends on pot size and irrigation layout. The installation guide on our FAQ site walks through positioning for each pot size.

One probe connects at a time today. Support for multiple probes per unit is in development.

60-day money-back guarantee and a 2-year warranty, same as every Grow Sensor product.
