The main reason houseplants die is from improper watering—mainly from overwatering but also from forgetting and not watering for too long of a time. Blumat makes some of the best products to keep your houseplants watered correctly keeping them healthy and happy. Simple, efficient, and easy to install; your plants can take care of themselves while you are on vacation or otherwise busy with the rest of your life.
The Blumat Moisture Meter. This amazingly accurate tensiometer tells you the moisture level of the soil near your plant's roots. The mbar reading lets you know if your plants need water or not, and exactly how much. You'll be wondering how you ever got by without it! This moisture meter is ideal for dialing in your Blumat or other garden irrigation systems.
Works for all Types of Soil
Works in both clay and sandy soils. This moisture meter is a tensiometer, meaning it measures to amount of force that the roots need to exert to uptake water.
Instructions
Perfect control over watering your plants
The professional moisture sensor shows you how thirsty your plants are at the press of a button
Easy set up
Insert bottom portion of meter into soil/growing media and wait 45 minutes. Press "On" button until a reading is displayed. Do not get the digital top wet.
Measurements
Interpreting the Reading: A display of 0 millibars is equivalent to the meter in a standing cup of water. A display of 750 millibars is equivalent to soil completely void of moisture. For high-value crops like hemp, a reading of 100 millibars for vegetative stage and 120-150 millibars for flowering stage is ideal. These numbers may vary dependent on variety.

Item received has instructions and labels in a different language. Oh, well, no biggie, except that the moisture meter doesn't work. It's readings are all over the place and after speaking with Blumat customer service it was determined that I received a faulty item in need of recalibration. Well it's been less than a month so it can just be returned.Disappointing. But investing in an Irrometer is probably better anyway.

This is an amazing product and all the bad reviews don’t know what they are talking about. I grow in organic living soil (BAS 3.0) and this thing taught me how to water. I also own an Irrometer but I like these Blumat tensiometers better because you don’t have to fiddle with air bubbles which is a major PITA for the irrometer, so now I own 3 of these digital ones. You just soak for an hour, shake underwater to get any bubbles out, and then screw the top on filled to the brim. Done. Follow the instructions pamphlet. Only 2-4 inches from the edge of the pot, 8 inches deep. 50-120 mbar. I put them straight in the soil even with pumice chunks with no reading issues.I have one each in a 20 gallon and two 15 gallon pots. Jeremy from Buildasoil recommends keeping the 3.0 soil wetter around 40-80 mbar in veg and I agree if I go dryer than that I get nute burn from not having enough moisture. Then after stretch 80-120 mbar for flower. If you are using KIS Organics soil, Tad recommends 80-120 mbar.These are precise instruments and if you set it up properly then that means it is reading properly, so if you see a reading for the first time and think it’s off it’s not, it’s just that section of soil really is that wet or dry.The only con is that the digital top is not waterproof, but the tube it comes in makes for a perfect cap. I cut the end off about 4 inches and keep it over the top at all times.

The product will eat the batteries up after using it just one time. Then it will display Lob. What is Lob? Low battery. I figured out that this is probably what it means but it is not in manual that this code even exists. The best thing I found out was through a video on YouTube. This guy Jeremy does a great job of explaining how this product works.

Is it bi expensive but worth it IMO. This does not keep a good seal, so make sure you do not get it too wet (use the cap when watering if anything). If it starts reading ZERO, you have to do a reset. Quick google will get you there, just search for BLUMAT ZERO READING fix

This has stopped working after 5 months and amazon will only except returns within 30 days. A battery replacement did not resolve this.I have changed review as after unit breaking Amazon did help resolve the issue and Blumat themselves were very helpful when I reached out to them.I have chosen to purchase another one in hope that I was just unlucky, especially as its a very useful and vital tool.

I buy a lot of stuff. With the increase in products being sold directly by Chinese companies, I've noticed that manufacturers simply refuse to honor warranties and there is absolutely no recourse for the consumer. This meter is an excellent meter and if you know the cost of most irrometers, you'll recognize it is at a great price. I have one defective meter out of six and Blumat replaced for me. No going back and forth until the warranty period ends. No asking me to write a positive review first. This is a good product from a great company sold at a great price.update on: 2/1/2019: I bought another one of your moisture sensor, and will get more. I love using them. they have totally changed my watering habits. More for my beds and far less for all the in ground stuff. My home’s water usage started going down as soon as I put the first one in, and our vegetable beds are doing so much better. I’m also reducing the risk of root rot with the avocado trees as I reduced winter watering by 90% relative to a year ago and I water about 25% more during the summer. I had thought our four avocado trees were doing well before, but they are doing even better now Less salt accumulation, so less brown tips. This means less leaves falling off this month. The flower buds are already coming in in massive numbers. I'm anticipating a good fruit set this spring.

Ich habe dieses gerät seit einer woche im einsatz und habe es bereits an verschiedenen kübelplanzen täglich mehrfach getestet.besonders positiv haben mich die hochausgeprägten quantitaven ergebnisse und die überzeugende meßmethode über den wurzelansaugdruck überrascht. sehr gut auch die beiliegende anleitung mit vielen praktischen pflanzenbeispielen und deren optimale bewässerung. mich verwundert, dass hier einige kunden systeme anpreisen, die nicht die wasserverfügbarkeit für die pflanzen, sondern die elektrische leitfähigkeit der erde/des substrates messen und selbst das sehr ungenau bis unbefriedigend; die außer billig kaum zu gebrauchen sind.

Schnelle Lieferung !Gerät arbeitet perfekt.Ich benutze es im Pflanzgefäß meines Zitronenbaumes und ist dafür wohl unerläßlich, um eine genaue Dosierung des Wassers zu erhalten.Es ist mein zweites Blumat Gerät, bei dem ersten ist leider der Einschaltknopf nach einiger Zeit defekt geworden.Gut finde ich auch, dass nur eine Masseinheit angezeigt wird und somit das Hin- und Herschalten entfällt.

It doesn't work?? It reads the same all the time?? Please give me a break!! This is an excellent product IF you use it correctly! You MUST make sure the water inside the tube is at the very top to touch the gauge top. If you meter never changes the reading you need to put it in dry soil and let it sit for about two hours and reset after reading. This is a fine product but you should read instructions and follow them to the letter. The end is ceramic and you can always use lite grit sandpaper on probe to "refresh" the ceramic if necessary. Again this is right in instructions. This is a high quality product for the money. Remember it is designed to leave in one place to monitor your tree, shrub, etc. this item is NOT designed to walk around the yard checking moisture in various plants.
