Very important to everyone EC/PPM

Here is the deal. We are hobby growers and want to enjoy our plants, and our smoke, and our other products. We want any medical benefits we get from our plants.
We care about what works, period.
That isn't too much to ask is it?
 
So basically just keep a log of the EC going in and out of my plants every time I feed them?
What about when I give them plain water?

I'll start making notes, the same way I note down the temps and humidity on a daily basis.
Thanks for the guidance man. We'll figure out what the data is saying after i've collected it. =D
 
Yes that's correct. So when you give plain water (in a soiless medium cause soil has its own nutrients) the plant has no other choice but to eat what inside the leaves and buds. Minerals vitamins chlorophyll and many other compounds get processed instead of being stored. We do it at the end of the cicle so we smoke the less posible

To flush In soil nutrients and minerals in the medium get dissolved and leached out leaving the plant in the same scsenario.

But when you have a young seedling in a hot soil (like fox farm) you give very little EC water (0.2 for example just to keep ph stable) and the nutrients in the soil will be available to the plant. Checking the runoff will tell you when its time to start adding some more
 
I'm sure all that stuffs got a place but not with me,I grow in supersoil with just PH water, I'm not smart enough to figure all that stuff out
 
9fingerleafs, Great post and great info thanks for sharing. I really have no clue about my HM Digital TDS meter as it only spits out PPM/TDS, however based on the info I have read in here along with the video, I think it is safe for me to assume that my meter runs the .5 conversion as it certainly uses NaCl as the calibration solution and that seems to be the commonality of all the other meters that calibrate using NaCl..:)
 
im glad it helps, yes HM digital has lots of models using different scales, i do also have a tds/ppm model using NaCl 500 scale, its pretty standard in america but in europe its not so it creates confusion, thats why its more accured to speak in EC terms :)
