Why measure pH?
All plants need a balanced diet of nutrients (food) so that they can reach their full potential.
The pH (potential Hydrogen) of your nutrient solution plays a pivotal role in making these elements available to your plants. That’s why you need to regularly measure pH; if your medium is too alkaline or too acidic, your plant won’t be able to access all the nutrients they need.
Why measure conductivity (EC) ?
All plants need the right amount of food (nutrients) in order to grow. If you over- or under-feed your plants, this can result in the waste of expensive nutrient resources and crop health issues.
Conductivity / EC is an essential measurement that indicates the total amount of nutrients available to your plants. It refers to ionic content (dissolved salts), which creates a potential for electricity to move through a solution.
