I ve performed several EC readings in water comming off my pot when I water and they always give very high values: 3.5 to 4.5. People told me it shoudnt be higher than 2.5. I ve tried two different substrates, last one biobizzallmix and very litle to non fertilization. Cause??

Calibration solution should be one of your tools as well. Once a month you pour a little solution into a clean container, put you reader in and let it sit for 5 min. Then adjust to the ec of the calibration solution. Your plants dont look over ferted, but it's nice to know you tds reader is right on. Happy growing friend

Приветствую, бро! проверьте свой прибор на минеральной воде из аптеки! В аптеках продается вода с точным значением присутствующих солей! Так ты определишь врёт твой прибор или нет! 👌😇👍 Удачи, дружище! 👋

i would guess it's the callibration of your EC meter. I think the 3.5-4.5 range would cause some major issues well above and beyond anything i see in your recent week of diary. some yellow at bottom? perfectly normal in many cases in flowering period. check instructions for callibrating it, if possible. find something with a known EC and measure it (RO water would be very low from a good RO system), if you can't callibrate.
