Not enough water in the summer, too much in winter!

@amigasteve

my lawn looked a little distressed so I increased the crop coefficient to try and give it more water. Probably too little too late. But now as we exit winter I have the opposite problem, too much water

@mnichols

I’m having similar problems. There seem to be too many settings to get this to work as expected.

I had this problem too, then fixed it following the advice & help of people on this forum (thanks @franz!). My first mistake was playing with the Crop Coefficient without knowing what the real numbers were that I needed. My second was winging the first.

The fixes are easy. For the most simple hands-off approach reset the device to defaults, then select Flex Daily, tweak only the day or times you have to, then leave it alone. It’s not as “perfect” as the next method, but it works pretty darned well.

The more hands-on approach is to go to an Ag authority and get the proper crop coefficients for your situation, then plug them in manually every month. In CA, UC Davis has the poop for turf grasses. I don’t have a link handy, but there’s one in this forum… somewhere.
