Problem measuring EC. Is it my measuring device? Or maybe my measuring method? Im very confused. Help please!!
PersasHstarted grow question 4 years ago
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.

PH-Problems in SoilBefore repotting, the pH value in the soil has always fallen to below 5.5. The plants always have an iron deficiency. I then repotted the plants and that worked well for 14 days. Now they are showing PH deficits again. The soil has PH 5,4 -4,8. What could be the reason?

Mold on soilI used BioBizz LightMix with Monsterbud Mix from Amnesia and some mycorrhiza in the hole of the seed. 3 seeds after 3 days still not germinated in soil. Had foil on top of the pots for humidity. Probably watered a bit too much. What should I do and will my seeds still germinate?
