I think the biggest help would be to teach everyone not to grow in mud in the first place.
Thats just setting them up for failure or 4 to 5 months of trying to balance out when and how much to water in some water roulette wet dry dog and pony show.
To me there are 3 viable mediums for cannabis cultivation.
Hydroponics which is ok although to me is better for growing lettuce than cannabis but if you get it wired then you can grow decent bud with it.
Its mostly synthetic nutrients and obviously no worry about overwatering but still have the same
worry about lack of oxygen, just need to keep water cool and oxygenated.
Coco which is basically Hydosoil is predominantly synthetic nutrients and you water everyday.
Then Living Organic Soil in large fabric pots, absolutely no smaller than 15 gal and 30 gallon being optimum.
A proper LOS you also water every single day, never allow the soil to dry out thus the roots stay nice and healthy.
Never any guess work, just water with about 5% of soil volume daily.
You just have to start with a proper soil is all.
30% peat moss, 30% compost, 30% aeration and then whatever amendments such as kelp, neem cake, karanja cake, Alfalfa meal, calphos, oyster shell flour, langbeinite, Gypsum, Basalt and so on.
Then worms and cover crop and that soil "needs" daily moisture like a car engine needs gas its what literally powers it.
To me if you can't water about everyday then you need to start over because something ain't right.
