Is my EC ok for plain water?
Faegrows
started grow question 5y ago
Stupid question but the EC on my meter is it 0.3 or 3.7? I never really minded the EC just ppm as I grow in canna Coco plus but now I'm wondering if the EC is actually right. PH is usually 6.3-6.4.

It means your ppm is about 185ppm 0.37. 500ppm is 1.0 ec. 1000ppm is 2.0 ec Take your ppm and double it. This is the hanna reading.

So it’s not bad for tap water.. anything above .4 EC would be worrisome to me. And yours is .37

Mixing nutrients
Hi there growing community, i just wanted some POVs on mixing powder nutrients with liquid organical ones. Is this a good practice at all? In my case im using green house hybrids for short flowering that should cover the hole process but i cant find the booster powder in my mkt.

Overfeeding?
Is this the first sign of nutrients burn? Some tips of the leaves are turning yellowish and two leaves are starting to make dark dots...maybe too much nitrogen? 🤔The temperatures in my grow box are a little bit low, but I don't think it's the case. The ph is regular.

Nutrients or am I wasting potential.
Hi. Is there anyone that could maybe teach me a more productive or more beneficial way of getting the plant to intake the nutrients. The way I'm doing it at this point is just mixing it with water.
