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

Compost tea pH
Gazillion recipes on line. But my question is about pH. What should the pH be? Is it advised to try and raise or lower it with G.H. up/ down or try silica or lime. Not finding recipes that cover pH adjustment or concerns. I worry about liquids. I've got a bottle of silca blast.

Tap water is 0.5 EC, and 8.1 - shall I get an RO system or can I use pH Down (using Canna Coco)?
Does my tap water with 0.5 EC, pH 8.1 warrant the use of an RO system with Canna Coco nutrients or shall I use Canna pH Down to bring it down to 6.3?

Water Advice
What kind of water should I be using to water my clones? I have gallon jugs of distilled water that I've been pH-ing. Have Cal-Mag and Fox Farm nutes that I'll start adding into the mix in another week or two. Any advice helps!

Hydroponic PPM and feeding. How do I match magnesium sulphate to potassium for flowering??
Do I got this right? Hydroponic Flowering cannabis eats at a rate of 1-1-2 and for maximum useage, feeding 1-1-2 makes sense. Extra nutes outside the ratio is wasted and extra. You want highest PPM possible before burning. Will extra Cal-Mag burn roots/leaves?
