Wow, the best explanation I have ever come across with. Most people will just focus on TDS/PPM but since EC is like universal, it make sense to use it instead. pH adjustment is also great. Kudos sir.

Always thankful for all your factual and scientific approach. Much love

Hi Sir, I am new to Hydroponic, your explanation is super and learn lot of new stuff. I have a question here. How many days we can use this nutrition mixture for a hydroponic system ? Do we need to check the levels of EC and pH in regular intervals ?

My water source is borehole, with pH of 7.8. It already contains calcium and magnesium. Should I still add these when making nutrient solution?

Question : do we need to check ec and ph of plein water before adding the concentrated solutions ,???

Very nice explanation, just a small query so prepared Nutrients solutions (200ltrs) can be given directly to the plants through NFT tanks or again will take some of that portion and mix in NFT channels tanks with RO Water again request you to please confirm

Can you tell me from where I can source phosphoric acid and calcium hydroxide... something is reliable in your experience?

If you are unable to get the nutrient mixture what are the measurements for using other NPK fertilizer

Bonjour , MR, Excellent vidéo, please advice how you get number (100) ,100 time concentrated stock. And What is the weight of each bag. can not read there sticker Merci

Does the nutrient solution has an expiry? Or how long can we use? Pls reply

Am unable to place order on your website and also unable to get through to number provided. Please advise

Thanks for your comment. Yes, This is the way we need to manage a running hydroponics system as well. There is one change though. Initially I will measure the pH and EC and then go on to adjust. If the reservoir volume is small, it is also a good practice to completely change the solution every 15 days. Hope this helps

Sir I am also a new student. I have been watching your videos continuously. I am really interested with your tomato garden which you directly placed in coco peat. My doubt is the nutrition which you are applying to the root is not recirculating. So how much litre of nutrition should we spend for entire growth of tomato.

How can I calibrate a photo solution?

If you have the right ph 5.5-6.5 but wrong ppm how raise the ppm and not the ph.

how frequently the water need to be changed

Sir can you explain Micro-nutrients and organic nutrients for hydroponics slabs.

Hey! Excellent video, however I have a question. Usually when I use PH Stabilisers , my EC is also tampered, for instance, I prepared my hydroponic solution nutrient to about 400 PPM before I transplanted my lettuce, the PH was about 6.7, when I added phosphoric acid(10% dilution ) to bring down the PH, my TDS shooted to 1100ppm, could you please elaborate on this?

TDS is essentially EC approximated further to represent weight. EC adjustment is same as TDS only more accurate.

Barath, it really depends on how fast the pH is drifting. Try to keep the pH in the range of 5.5 - 6.5 if it takes two days for the solution to move out of this range them your frequency is every two days. It has to be feedback based.

Nice video.. Does the ec change after ph correction? If so how do we handle that?

@TheGeekgardener

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks. pH correction happens by adding an Acid or a base, which essentially will dissociate into ions. If the addition of pH down /up is marginal then its usually not an issue. But if you have to add considerably large amount of it that it affects the balance of the elements in the fertilizers then lot of consideration has to be given to the water quality, type of pH down/up used, nutrient recipe used. We do a thorough study and remedial measure on all the farms we setup.

If you are using a diluted nutrient solution, touching it is not harmful although i dont suggest it since it has fertilizers in it. Always wear gloves as a precaution. Don't touch concentrated or stock solution.

if ph down solution is adding in water, is there any change in ppm/tds ?i

@TheGeekgardener

2 жыл бұрын

pH down in usually acid ( nitric, phosphoric or sulfuric). These acids will have ions that will contribute to the conductivity or TDS. But since the acid added is very dilute, the impact on EC is manageable. Always adjust EC first and then pH

I would suggest you go with Phosphoric acid. Most fertilizer stores should carry phosphoric acid. If not you can also get from chemical stores that sell laboratory chemicals. Vinegar is a weak acid and would be required in large amounts. I dont suggest that.

Sir i have a question When the plant are already consuming the nutrients so what happen the EC level start to raise and the water level in the tank start to decrease. So my question is to avoid the high EC can we top up water back to the normal level of the tank as it was at the beginning. Is it appropriate to do so? Thanks

I will try to answer this question but it usually depends on the temperature and the nature of your growing medium. Assuming if you are using cocopeat, 1-2 times a day should be sufficient. Again it depends on the grade of cocopeat.

pH meter is used for measuring the acid/alkaline nature of the solution. The TDS equivalent of EC can be derived if you have the TDS meter scale. Usually its 500ppm = 1 mS/cm.
