Where your addition of solutes to a solvent is done by weight or volume of that specific nutrient salt.įor example, i can mix several nutrient products together, and know exactly how much quantity of each individual nutrient and non nutrient is going to be in the solution by calculating before hand and mixing a specific quantitiy of each. Everything is done through calculations and physical quantity measurements. In commercial level mixing, say in large commercial level hydroponic watering systems. You need to know a little about chemistry and how electrical conductivity works. Yea sorry man, even for me it took me a few days of study to grasp it. But if your mixing or measuring for absolute quantities, no chance. Which is where using your EC meter as a guide is important. You are certainly right about nutrient products with outragous feeding guides, what do ya expect, they need you to use their product as fast as possible so you can buy another 😉 You most certainly cannot mix nutes with it. But the variables previously suggested makes it only a ballpark or guide, rather than an absolute. And EC is nothing but the electrical value on conductance read by a electronic voltage sensor. It has no reference to anything but the mathematical conversion to from EC. And the EC to PPM conversion is just a meaningless value that is not universally standardised. With minerals in a solvent, it is a mass per volume measurment.ĮC on the otherhand is not measuring weight, its measuring electrical conductivity. PPM, when talking about mass not EC to PPM conversion (why they introduced it is fucking beyond me) is about the physical quantity per quantitiy measurement. Thank you so much for your patience and attention.ĮC is not the same as a weighted PPM measurement. I don't think so, there are lots of schedule and suggestion about the right EC ranges for each stage of the plant. OR I'm a fool and the '4000 EC' of a 4ml A+B per liter solution, suggested for veg, is the same as a 1000 EC solution of other products? it's over 3000 EC! I'm gonna burn those plants. instead they say 'just use 4ml per liter'. THEN I assume I should use the proportion Adv Nuts suggest, for example 4ml A+B per liter AND THEN dilute to the target EC. In this case I think I understand what you say: EC is not the unit of measure of each nutrient but the value that 'measure the drinkability' of the solution. If we agree on this, ehm, if I'm not wrong even on this, then we have to focus on the proportions of the nutrients in the solution. Or a 1000 EC solution can be 'less drinkable' than a 1500 EC solution in some cases?įrom what I learned EC is an absolute value.Īny 1000 EC would be absorbed by the plants in the same way. Let me explain: Ignore the proportions of the nutes in it, that's not the point, BUT a 1000 EC is equally 'drinkable' as any other 1000 EC solution? Same struggle I had with the question about targeting the right EC: is the EC level an 'absolute value'? If they do, then they will have huge errors due to the previously mentioned EC variables. When people make their own nutrients up using salts, you wont see them using a EC meter for each individual mineral. All mixes should be done by following instructions or applying your own equations. And the true total weighted measurement is actually 1320ppm.ĮC meters are not intended to be used for mixing, but as a guide for solute concentration and its effects on water potential in plants. But the actual concentrations of elemental nutrients are no more than 100ppm (N 13.2ppm C 66ppm M 20ppm).

For example, when using calimagic at its full dose of 5ml per gallon, you will measure around 800ec (400ppm). Yet measure 1 EC (500ppm).Īnother product can have exactly the same garenteed nutrient levels and measure 0.8 EC (400ppm).Īnd then there are non nutrient components that make up a large part of the conductivity measurement. One nutrient product can have 200ppm of garanteed total elemental nutrients. The reason for this is because EC measures electrtical conductivity, and different minerals can provide different levels of conductivity.įor example. So you can have several different products that measure the same EC, yet have completely different nutrient levels. EC does not exclusively measure the elemental concentration of nutrients.
