Tips on how to use a Bluelab Conductivity Pen to test EC in water
- Start with a quality nutrient
- Measuring the conductivity every day is the best way to avoid over-diluting or over-concentrating your nutrient solution
- Completely change the reservoir solution every 7 days until you are confident with the nutrient
- Top up the water level only between whole water changes - so your plants always have the right amount of food.
The Bluelab EC or ppm Pen also measures the temperature of the solution, as root health is vital to the success of a crop. Temperature affects the growth rate and structure of a plant so a solution temperature of 18 - 22˚C or 65 - 72˚F is recommended.
