One of the main challenge in growing hydroponic lettuce is familiarizing with the process and getting used to the jargon. Often times, available literature can be quite overwhelming, especially when so much information is presented, like providing a broad comparison instead of just what's needed. This video explains what hydroponic nutrients are and how to measure them and keep the plant thriving.
Why not use say Coke to lower pH? Baking soda to raise it? Vinegar to lower. It's not the space program people. No need to buy pH up and down $$$$. Simple stuff you already have at home.
Thank you for this. I've been growing hydroponic plants for a little over a year now and I have just followed the instructions on the bottles but never thought about it.
Where did you get 700 ppm from? Conversion factor can be 500 or 700, or depending on the nutrient mix as provided by the manufacturer. That information wasn't provided by the supplier of the nutrient product used in this video. You can't just assume what ppm conversion you'll use or you'll end up using more (or less) fertilizer. That's why EC is much more easier, since it's just electric conductivity in the water as a result of dissolved salts.

Don’t like the mechanical sounding voice, sorry.
lol 😭 funny you should say that. but I can't disclose. (and the voice is more important to you?) ✌
I can't listen to it either - sorry - but I'm watching it muted with subtitles on instead
@@Vegan123 😁 you can do anything you want (within RUclips rules).

Hi, My us/cm shows 0330 how do I convert to EC.
Thank you for this. I've been growing hydroponic plants for a little over a year now and I have just followed the instructions on the bottles but never thought about it.
👍👍 you're welcome. glad you find this useful.
Semens xD
Nice video and good explanation about EC and pH. We love growing hydroponically🌱
Thanks, perfect and simple explanation.
thank you for the information
do you have data about the ec for strawberries?
EC for hydroponic strawberries:
Low 0.8 - 1.2 mS/cm
Ideal 1.2 - 1.6 mS/cm
High 1.6 - 2.0 mS/cm
@@diyhookedonhydroponics thanks a lot
thank you. very informative
you're welcome. 🙏
What is the ideal EC range (measurement) for fig trees growing from a stem?
You're barking at the wrong tree. But I took the liberty of asking ChatGPT.
Young fig tree: 0.6 to 1.2 dS/m
Established tree: 1.2 to 2.5 dS/m
can I get data from it to arduino
These are basic meters. There's nothing on it that will let you export data.
@@diyhookedonhydroponics what about using jumper with some calibration from it to analog pin in arduino
@@nadernabil8031 check with the manufacturer. I just grow lettuce the simplest way.
Ok thanks
@@nadernabil8031 you can buy what you need on Amazon for less than $40.
I dont have enough micro seman.
😁
Thanks
You're welcome.
Your numbers should be ppm, not ec. 1.0 ec = 700 ppm
Where did you get 700 ppm from?
Conversion factor can be 500 or 700, or depending on the nutrient mix as provided by the manufacturer.
