Help!!

[El Andaluz]

Can anyone out there tell what the EC level is,and what is the EC itself.I am new to all this but ,the girls ared doing very well.I have one plant in particular ("chocolate chunk" ,TH seeds Amsterdam) that can take high levels of this sais ec level, my second question is they all so recomend weekly enzymes,well what are those?
Thnx brother bud consumers

Hmmm,

Electrolyte Capacity?
Enzyme Content?
Environmental Control?
Electrical Conductivity? (please dont electricute your plants! haha)

Dont take any of this seriously, im just messin around. I've never heard of EC... curious to find out tho.

Electrical Conductivity

EC stands for 'Electrical Conductivity', and is measured by an EC meter. The EC meter tests the conductivity of a liquid and display it in milliSiemens grades. It is a vital asset to any grower - both indoors and outdoors. The more conductive a liquid, the more dissolved salts are in it, thus a higher concentration of fertilizer.

It is important to have an EC meter because the optimal nutrient dosage depends on the original salt content of the water. The maximum EC for watering on soil is 0.8, for hydro it is higher and growers increase the EC as plants grow/flower. For example, my tapwater has an EC of 5.0 and when I mixed it with half of the recommended fertilizer dosage it had 1.65 EC! This would have surely burn any roots in soil. This is why I advise in other threads to enrich the soil with compost or manure and fertilize as little as possible. High grade fertilizer brands recommend a desired EC level, because the recommended fertilizer dosage is based on distilled water with 0.0 EC.

These are the very basics about EC. As I mentioned above, any serious grower should have an EC meter, even outdoor farmers. The price for a high grade EC meter is about 100$ but it will prove to be a moderate investment when considering that the meter will serve you for many years, helping you to mix the excellent nutrient solution for your beloved greenes.

So get one and you'll be one step closer to become a Grower, with a capital G.:thumbsup:
