You have to measure those if you are using mineral nutrients.

Essential for hydro and coco grows, not so important with soil grows.

Basically they measure the amount of nutrition in the water which it is pretty vital to have one to know the proper strength of feeding. It is as important as a ph meter. You gotta do what the plant needs, when to have any kind of decent results. It will cost you more not having proper equipment in long run in time and electric. I would recommend it. Good luck🌱🌱🌱

Questions about watering I created a 40 ml solution, the instructions say to transplant after the sprout has grown to the top of the plastic cover and the roots are visible through the plug. The question is, is 40 ml of liquid enough for this growth? I think not.

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200. I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new). Should I increase EC of the feeding water? I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder) I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness. I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ? What should I do Thank you
