Hi folks :] Just got a quick question regarding EC readings. Here is a post I previously made:
That pretty much explains it all at once. Could anyone shed some light on the subject please? It'd be most helpful and much appreciated :]
Day 6 update
Hurray! Finally my Biobizz Root Juice and Formulex arrived today, so I'm gonna be starting the feeding before I switch to vegging nutes in a few weeks time.
Mixed in 1ml/litre of Root Juice and 1.5ml/litre of Formulex in with a litre of pH 7.6 water, brought it down to a perfectly balanced pH 7 solution! Checked it with my PPM/EC meter to ensure I wasn't going overboard with it, the µS came up at 555. Using the KCl calibration conversion of 0.53, I came up with 555 x 0.53 = 294.15. Dividing that by 1000, I believe the EC of the water is currently at 0.29mS, which is slightly weak as I was aiming for approximately 0.4 for such a little plant. Just gonna leave it as it is for today to ensure I'm doing it properly :] The meter I use is the HM EC-3 (http://www.tdsmeter.com/products/ec3.html), calibrated with potassium chloride (KCl, http://www.tdsmeter.com/what-is?id=0019). Could someone make sure I'm measuring my EC right please? Pretty sure I am, but just want to make sure :] If I don't need to use the 0.53, then my EC is at 0.5mS.
