“What time should I start and stop my irrigation?” This is the question I am asked more than any other, especially as we approach summer. Leading into late spring water usage, by the plant, is increasing so irrigation needs to follow suit. For each individual crop, determined by crop age/fruit load and substrate you are using, I would advise you use WC and EC target figures. Different substrate will have a bearing on advised target figures.
