Instrument Calibration & Care
Whether in the soil, water or a hydroponic solution, measuring pH levels is a critical aspect of successful gardening. Healthy plant growth depends on properly synthesizing the perfect environment for your fruits, veggies and decorative plants. And just as correcting the pH level in soil or water can help a plant thrive, an incorrect pH level can lead to disease or potential death.

What is conductivity and why is it important?
What is conductivity?
Conductivity (measured in ppm, EC, TDS, CF) is the total soluble salts contained within a liquid solution.
Pure water does not contain salts, so it has a conductivity measurement of zero. By adding soluble elements to the water, electricity is able to move through the solution giving it a conductivity rating.

Nominal EC and pH Values for Hydroponic Crops
Although there are ideal EC values for each plant type, this does not mean that a range of plants, all technically requiring different strength nutrients, cannot be grown in a home situation together. The grower simply lists the range of EC values and picks an average value. For most home systems this value is between 1.2EC and 2.0EC depending upon the requirements of the predominant crop types ...

High TDS / Hard Water Issues
Hard water results primarily from excess calcium, magnesium, sodium and other minerals dissolved in the ground water.
Too much of any of these can greatly alter the mineral nutrient balance in the root zone and nutrient reservoirs. Sodium, for instance, competes with Potassium and you may end up with Potassium deficiency symptoms like brown leaf tips and less than optimal growth ...
