Test a EC or PPM meter
DeadwebsiteBoringcommunityanswered grow question 4 years ago
You use calibration solution or two different EC/TDS. Ie you test/calibrate with a 700ppm then you test/calibrate with a 1000 ppm solution.. Then you recheck your readings with your calibration solutions to see how accurate your pens are.. Here's a link to a company that sells the calibration solution. Cheap or Expensive all TDS/EC meters need to be calibrated once a month or so. :http://hmdigital.com/product-category/accessories/calibration_buffers_storage/

I don't see any ppm or ec listed on the labels. I dont have a ro system. but i do have a zero water pitcher. The water that comes from measures 0. the charts i find for my nutes shows a ppm range and no ec.

NobodysBudsanswered grow question 4 years ago
there are 2 ways to calculate EC. If dividing by .5 doesn't match up with ppm, divide by .7 and see if that corrects it.
if yo have a nice RO system, you can mix up some measured amount of nutes and calculate what the PPM should be from the guaranteed analysis labels. then, compare. A really good RO system wil be near 0 ppm, if not mistaken? if not, that's what you'd need, then mix and measure.. start with a known.. compare measurement. easy as pie.
look into re-callibrating, if that's something necessary for those pens. that'll also verify integirty.

Which single bloom supplement would I benefit from most?I’m considering purchasing something to boost my blooms. I’ve looked at koolbloom and big bud. I’ve used big bud in a commercial setting and got buds the size of my head, but can’t verify big bud did that. I’ve seen good results with just the GH trio too. Any input is appreciated

Watering question - Volume?Currently doing my 1st grow and had some watering questions. I see a lot online about when to water which seems pretty easy to understand but I have trouble finding the amount of water. Is it based on the size of the pot? or the size of the plant? or both maybe? How much?Week 1

Can I use this as a top dressing ? If yes, do I put it on top before or after watering ? Sorry if this seems daft, I'm used to bottled nutesGreat white shark Can I use this stuff as a top dressing ?? I've been thinking of doing so, but I'm worried it may affect the pH. I've been adding it to the water before feeding.
