EC formula troubleshooting
FuZzY619started grow question 3 years ago
To get an EC value, I must multiply the ppm reading by 2 and divide by 1000. But my TDS tester gives me both microSiemens and ppm reading.. which measurement do I use to get the correct EC value, microSiemens or ppm?thank you in advance.

Often the literature will use microSiemens (uS/cm) and EC standing for electrical conductivity. These two units are the same.
http://www.maherjabado.com/ec-ppm-table.JPG
Just may need to round the decimal point over a bit to get a EC of 1.0,
Depending on the scale 500ppm or 640ppm 700ppm is all 1.0EC,
That's why EC is more accurate then PPM. PPM is not truly accurate because all TDS pens do is measure EC.
A true PPM count is done with a different machine.
If you make a solution and test its EC at 1.0 or 1000ms/cm, then switch it to ppm you will find your scale.
If your meter says 500ppm then you know that's your scale.
Can test with salt water and save nutrients.
Good Luck!

Like mouse said use the uS/cm value as it is the same as ec just a smaller measurement. Its like millimetre to centimetre or feet and inches . PPM can vary depending the device.

What do you guys think?It's my first grow (automatic, 6 weeks old) and compared to other plants, my plant looks a bit small/ridiculous. I give her 24/7 light (I read that on guides) is that maybe too much? What's your impression of her? I use two growlights (one from above and one from the side).

I got to harvest in 14 days: in order to have enough time to cure it before leaving home for 2 weeks (safety first: is a period of floods in here, I just can't take the risk). I had a pretty long vegetative stage but I'm gonna finish it at 13 weeks. Am I gonna ruin it it, right?

The Critical, except for a few light pre-flowers on one stem, hasn't bloomed. I suspect it might be a photoperiod. Should I put it in the tent at 12/12 or 18/6?
