Is my EC ok for plain water?
Faegrows
started grow question 4y 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

Canna nutrient growers: Has anyone tried any other brand PK boosters after Canna's prescribed 1 week PK? If so, which brand boosters have you had success or bad experience with? I'm thinking about doing a quick flush+2-3 weeks Atami Bloombastic after the 1 week CannaPK. Thx!

would it be a problem to change the nutrient family in the first week of flowering?
in the hope of a better taste, I would replace my well-proven nutrition family with nutrients from an “advanced nutrients” company. would it be a problem? I found two nutrition guides, which should I use?

Inverse osmosis system was installed
Hi everyone! Recently I installed a inverse osmosis system and now my water EC is 0.05. Now if I add the same ferts proportion my EC is around 1. Should I add more ferts (until 1.4 EC example) or it's ok at EC 1? Thank you guys.

I am only growing one plant at this time and would like to know some good concepts and actions for storing water, keeping the PH levels at a workable level, and best feedings. Would 5 gallon buckets with air machine and PH kit be sufficient, Please your thoughts.

I grow one plant in a five-gallon grow bag filled with coco coir. I water her everyday and on every third day I feed her with my nutrient solution. Everything so far has been good - growth, color. The pH and PPM of solution is 6.5/ @1500. What do you do when growing in coco?

Всем привет. Интересно, можно ли использовать Bloom Booster с Flora Trio? Насколько правильно использовать оба вместе? Одно - минеральное удобрение, другое - органическое. Растение находится на первой неделе цветения.
