pc,
Nicely explained. Even I understand it now. I think other things can effect the electrical conductivity, EC, besides just dissolved solids, correct?
Anyway, the part I don't understand is how can we determine what conversion the nutrient manufacturer is using when they list PPMs for their nutrients rather than EC? How are we supposed to make sense of PPM suggestions from the manufacturer and here on the forum if people don't list what conversion factor they are using?
Could that be why my solution, mixed exactly -- well at least to the tenth of a milliliter /5 gallons -- of what the manufacturer recommends is reading 200 to 300 PPMs higher than what the manufacturer says it should be for that formula even after I subtract the beginning 160 PPM hardness of the raw water?
Thanks for clarifying things.
Great smoking.
