EC is very important can tell you a lot you can fix a lot of problems if you know your EC sometimes your plant will shut down and not take up nutrients because your salt content is too high if you are burning your plant giving it too much nutrients it has a lot to do with growing testing your water testing your runoff testing your nutrient solution learn how to do it it's not that hard they have inexpensive meters that are very inexpensive are pretty much accurate not all but some are pretty accurate something to learn

However, my strawberries, and 4 types of tomatoes are NOT happy! Tomatoes are terribly wilted. So I've been searching & searching for the answer.

More informative than other videos. Try some grow lights. I will be trying my onions next week on hydroponics with water from my fish tank. I tried aquaponics and getting the nutrients for the plants was scary because I didn't want to harm the fish. The fish water is rich in nitrates. In two weeks the plants were ready.

I'm new to hydroponics (raising herbs) and don't have meters yet. The kit that I have told me to add nutrients every two weeks and to use 5 ml of nutrients for every liter of water. If I only add (let's say) a liter of new water (with 4 liters left from the original), do I just add nutrients for that single liter (5 ml), or do I add nutrients for all 5 liters (25 ml)? Thanks for any help.

I actually never start over - I just mix up a new batch of nutrients in a 4L container using the measurements for the late bloom stage and top up my containers every 3-4 days.

The plant looks like it's dieing and roots aren't too pretty but It's still giving me cucumbers! 🥒🥒

Adding more nutrient solution to your water should bring up the EC. Add in small amounts and recheck your EC level.

Ph is ok but the ec is confusing

11:06 you are better off getting rid of old solution and add a newly mixed batch, your ppm readings is misleading at this stage, firstly ppm is high because the plant has used up enough water to increasing the solute concentration in percentage, secondly as the plant might have used different nutrients at different rates, by adding plain water (solvent) you may not be replacing the nutrients (solutes) that the plant has used in greater percentage...
