This is an example of what I’m talking about. I flooded the pots and took a picture while they were fully saturated. Then another a few seconds later when the water drained out and the coco was at its natural max holding capacity. You can see that the PWEC lowers and the bulk EC raises until they nearly meet at the input EC. Then they head off in separate directions once the saturation stabilizes.
(I assume that there is terminology for all of this, but I’m just making up my own.)
