An easy way to know how much water is in your jiffy pellet/rockwool.

Simply weigh your jiffy pellet/rockwool before first soaking and then weigh it again after soaking. The difference will be the volume of the water. 1g = 1ml. For instance, my jiffy pellets weigh 7g dry and 57g wet so thats 50ml of water, dry rockwool (40mm) 5g, wet 40g =35ml of water. This is only helpful if you have scales capable of weighing grams. So all you have to do is weigh the item and add the desired amount of water. PrecisionGardening.LOL

How much more attention could I pay? I would sleep next to a choof plant if the misses would let me.

haha!

This is interesting, and about as hands on as you can get... I've always just went with how the felt when I picked them up... but then again I've had huge losses before too... hmm..

Yeah I like this method, show 'em the love 'ey.

Why do you need to know the water content?
