Establishing new turf or plants can sometimes require a special watering program. It is typical to use a GROW IN PROGRAM for several waterings per day for the first few weeks. This will ensure that the new turf sod does not dry out and is established into the soil.
The Hydrawise Grow In Program provides a Standard Mode Program that allows for custom runtimes, watering triggers, rain sensor activations, multiple start times all with a defined start and end date. This makes it easy to set up a new turf or sod program, then will automatically switch to a normal program on the calendar day selected.

Important: A Grow In Program does not stop additional programs from running as they will run in conjunction with one another. If you want to use a Grow In Program (e.g; new turf), with multiple start times, and want it to finish on Monday the 19th, then you set the End Date for the 19th. If you want a more permanent program to take over on the 20th, then you set up an additional program to start on the 20th with No End Date.
