Is my EC ok for plain water?
Faegrowsstarted 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

If I have to feed her 2 cups of water, and mu nutes are 1.5 tsp/gal how do I mix that gallon of water without wasting so much water and nutrients?
Thanks!Week 1

Demineralized water to finishHey folks! Got a question about giving fresh water to finish. I bought some demineralized water to give them for the last week. The problem being I can't seem to get a reading on ph. I'm assuming because there's no ions in the water . Is this stuff ok to use opposed to distilled?Week 23
