Will BluMat Sensors work powered by a big res and small pump on a timer instead of gravity fed?

Looking to automate watering but my res is likely too big to raise up. Already ordered these sensors.

a "BluMat" irrigation system will do great! will give you a good accurate watering when moisture levels are low BUT make sure that it gets at least 20-30% runoff when it irrigates to avoid salt buildups.
a simple pump on timer with controlled drip system would've got the job done (if you don't know your drip rate then collect and measure how much water it drips in a minute then set the timer accordingly) for ya since the BluMat seems quite expensive but if you ordered it might as well use it.
Good luck and happy growing :)

serious question about VPD value in the tentI'm not sure which values I should consider more important, or both.
I have one sensor about 10cm above the Canopy and one sensor directly below it.
I am trying to keep the VPD optimal in this grow, but which one is the "right" one?

pH Pen Calibration Frequency?How often should I re-calibrate my PH pen? I have a cheap Milwaukee pH600 and after 3 months of use it had drifted enough to cause real damage (was reading 5.8 when chemical drops read ~4.0). Alternatively, is there a reasonably priced option that would avoid this?Week 12

Set auto system for VPD or RHI have AC Infinity set up. I am wondering whether I should have the humidity triggers set up for VPD or continue with RH triggers. So far I have it triggered when humidity gets a tad low. If I trigger for VPD, I think I will have to constantly check leaf temp. Thoughts?
