EC is what’s used to measure what’s in your water i.e. nutrients. To raise this you will need to increase the nutrients in your water.

EC is just about concentration of nutes.. add more per gallon or liter etc.. if you like your ratio, add same % to each product.. 25% more or 50% more etc.. should equate to change in EC too. so if you want your EC 15% higher, add 15% to all your doses. EC is not "ppm" and the "ppm" that device shows is just a conversion from EC. It's possible that some EC's do not translate as well as other EC to actual ppm of the nutes, but usually pretty good. I calculate this stuff from guaranteed analysis labels to avoid this 'error' that is intrinsic with using EC or ppm from a TDS pen. but, as long as the reading is consistent you can use it the same way.. it just might not translate to someone else's garden 1:1. Kinda like using a lux meter. good infor to learn per garden but doesn't translate to other gardens 100% accurately - close but no cigar.
