Growing is a journey, and knowing where to check your EC readings can make all the difference. Here are the key spots to check (and why):
🌊 Reservoir: This is your nutrient mixing station. Getting it right here sets up your whole feed - making sure it's strong enough to feed those hungry plants!
💧 Run-off: A handy window into what's happening in your root zone (aim for about 20% run-off for the most reliable readings).
🌱 Root Zone: The VIP area! This is where your plants actually grab their nutrients. Your nutrients need to be right where your roots can reach them to be useful.
🚰 Water Supply: Often overlooked, but so important! Especially if you're not using RO water - hidden contaminate ions in untreated water can throw off your entire feeding game.
Which spot do you usually measure? Has checking multiple locations changed your growing strategy? 💭
