EC meter

[IMO]

aye could be a disaster but I think I have downloaded enough info to my brain to pull something off

hhttps://www.growroom420.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13928i imo you will love the coco its easy and productive and here is a guide i wrote and i think it covers all you need to know to grow in coco, i shall await your diary eagerly,peace

Thanks Duke il book mark it for use, looking forward to it and I think il be a convert , diary coming up when the seeds get transplanted.

It's a piece of piss coco, I have an EC truncheon but don't even bother with it anymore I just use the nute feed schedule as a rough guide, look at the plants and usually know what they need Important to be accurate with the pH tho cheers

Piece of piss.

I barely use my ec wand, they're handy to keep a check on EC levels in a recirculating reservoir though and to check run off if a plant looks a bit wonky.
If you're mixing daily or a bucket up weekly, then you'll start to not use it as you'll know how much A+B per ml you're using.

I think I know that 1ml of A+B in 0EC water is about 0.425EC as well.

But yeah, good luck with the coir. I did just enjoy running coir in a wilma system for my last grow. That was easy peasy.

That’s what I’ve got a Wilma system, and for this grow I’m going to be using the End nutes from GHO, abs a few other goodies from them.

@marcus how often did you give yourself replacing the res 5 days?

@marcus how often did you give yourself replacing the res 5 days?

I only emptied it and refilled it twice while running in flower. Probably week 3, and 6. ??

I just topped it up twice or thrice a week.

Thinking about it, isn't "The End" feed you're using all natural? You shouldn;t need an EC meter for that. EC meters are useless on matural/organic ferts.

Ah right so just top up the res with the required feed and water mixture adjust the ph and off it goes again, yes from what I understand the End is mostly organic with an inorganic component, so abit of a hybrid nutrient.

That's all I did.

I mixed my ferts in a 20L bucket and ph'd them, then added to res and ph'd again if needed.

Early flower I used 3ml/L, then changed out res when I dropped to 2ml/L and changed again for the pk week 5 and then just added 1ml/l.

I was adding clean water for the last 2 weeks and there was still grub in the res. That worked well, apart from the spider mites.

My pen reads in several modes. When it reads EC it doesn't add the decimal. YMMV.

So on your ec meter 0.2 is 0200?

Yes thats right. 1200 = 1.2 ec , 1000= 1.0ec 0800=0.8ec etc etc same shit different way of doing it. One i have reads same and does ppm and ec with water temps in C or F.

Nice one thanks I know where I am with it now, as a few have said I don’t expect to use it much it’s an inkbird one for £20, it could come in handy if I need to try and diagnose something .
