Bluelab® Pulse Multimedia EC/MC Meter revolutionizes root zone management by measuring nutrient concentration (EC) and moisture content (MC) directly inside the growing media — cocopeat, perlite, rockwool, or soil. While standard EC meters only measure the feed solution, Pulse tells you what's actually happening where it matters most — at the root zone.
Why Root Zone Measurement Matters
The EC of your feed solution is NOT the same as the EC in the root zone. Salt accumulation, uneven watering, and plant uptake create significant differences. Pulse reveals these hidden conditions, allowing you to adjust irrigation timing, volume, and nutrient concentration for optimal crop performance.
Key Features
- Media EC Measurement — Measures nutrient concentration directly in cocopeat, rockwool, perlite, soil
- Moisture Content — Shows percentage water content in the substrate
- Temperature — Root zone temperature measurement
- Instant Readings — Push into media, get immediate results
- No Extraction Needed — Unlike pour-through or 1:2 dilution methods, measures in-situ
