The conductivity of the concentrate is 80-100ms/cm so it should measure just fine. I've double checked on the bluelab site and they say it should measure all but totally organic solutions. Aminos, humates etc even though organic should all register. As you're doing rdwc here and it's a first for the end it'll be necessary to dial it in but from what I can see there's no reason you should get a false reading.

I do love a roper RDWC grow @Spence. To me its the king of all growing methods. I've been threatening to do one for years but never get round to it.

How are the roots looking?

Oh mate it really is, when things go right the growth rate really has to be seen to be believed. A simple dwc bucket with an airstone in is a nice easy way to dip your toe into this style.

Root rot has got abit worse. Cut a few off the worst ones off the one in res. Plenty of new roots growing too though 🤞

Each tub has 2 airstone. There either 6 or 8 inch not sure. Running off a hailea v30 air pump which pumps 30l a min

Roots and closer pic of the tub at back. I topped these 2 a few days ago.
Rough ones behind them are the mimosa evo. Their not handling the root rot as well as pbc and really tempted to cull them encase their more susceptible to the rot and then spreading to the pbc 🤷‍♂️ or maybe thats just some stoner science. Last run after getting it early then adding orca. Roots looked much better by now but non of the plants at the time were as unhealthy as these mimosas
