    Good Stuff, Thanks!
    Is the EC 1.2 – 2.0 for Soil or Hydro?



  15. Matthew Pipp on May 28, 2022 at 9:53 am

    At least you got the ph right. 6.0 for cannabis and most all plants I’ve grown. 1.3 ec start to finish though.

    Bit of advice for any cannabis smoker/vaper;
    Add honey and/or coconut oil to your diet and your voice with strengthen. This might not be useful to everyone but I’ve noticed it’s a common issue our bunch seem to get

    Hi there. I have a flowering plant. According to the fertilizer I would have to apply 1 time a week and in the mentioned dilution I obtain an EC of 1.7 prior to irrigation
    That according to my understanding, in the stage the plant is in is perfect.
    However. It is also important to measure the EC of the drained water (I let it drain between 10% and 20%)
    Then I take the EC measurement again.

    1-What value of EC would the drained solution have to give me in the ideal condition?
    2-if it exceeds the recommended value of irrigation (1.7 EC), what should I do?
    3-leach with 3 parts of water to obtain 1.7EC?
    4-what about the next irrigation?
    5-should I water with only water with 0.4EC or should I also fertilize?
    in the event that the drained water shows an EC of less than 1 (for example),
    6-what should I do, fertilize that same day? or just in the next watering?
    7-in case of having to fertilize in the next irrigation with which EC should I do it?
