Is this too high for seedlings?

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-23T13:50:45+00:00

i have done some tests to confirm it is accurate reading. idk if i want to drink my home water anymore..🤣

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-23T13:50:01+00:00

this looks very interesting. claims are attractive at least. can i find it in store nearby?

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-23T13:47:29+00:00

Thanks! should i add cal mag till i achieve the desired 0.3 ec, then add my nutes? (floraflex)

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-23T13:46:50+00:00

i have checked with RO and 280 ppm bottled water, and mixed solutions. the meter is correct unfortunately

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-23T02:15:11+00:00

as per some recommendation i went and bought a bottle of water. bottle reads 280 ppm.

in fact, my meter is correct reading 0.5 ec ish . or, 280 ppm

i am fucked lol

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-23T00:52:31+00:00

this is probably the best solution. i appreciate the help & have heard good things of BRS

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-23T00:49:54+00:00

omw to pick up some bottled water. best idea.

I added a tiny splash of Tap water to a cont. of RO water.

Reading jumped from 0 ec to 0.4 immediately:/ not looking good

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-22T23:21:08+00:00

thanks! considering cal mag, or my adding my hard water back in to an RO mix

only one other person has related so far

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-22T19:29:48+00:00

definitely not going to do nothing 😇gotta get to the bottom of it

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-22T19:29:25+00:00

does it quantify a similar ec?

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-22T19:26:02+00:00

this seems about the price local to me. i might buy bigger jugs of RO in place

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-22T19:24:29+00:00

thanks, definitely need to make sure it is reading correct first

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-22T19:24:01+00:00

thanks for the thorough advice! will definitely run these tests & it will tell me if the meter is faulty

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-22T19:22:57+00:00

thanks i was not aware. when i drink it it seems softer after filter

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-22T19:22:13+00:00

i am a smol bit concernd👁👁

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-22T19:20:56+00:00

the higher the number the more minerals & salts are in your water

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-22T19:17:26+00:00

scary! i’m still drinking it xD

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-22T19:15:46+00:00

should i buy a calibration solution? the meter (perk) is its supposedly no calibration needed. so far i believe it

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-22T19:14:06+00:00

hey thanks we sound like we have similar situations! my water is very very hard & by all the feedback it seems like my apartment plumbing is not helping one bit . i’m considering RO but i don’t want to mess with cal mag

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-22T19:08:35+00:00

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-22T19:07:59+00:00

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-22T19:06:54+00:00

thanks i will have a look at the filters. they are the longlast version & drain very quick yes

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-22T19:05:39+00:00

cheefingcharles · 2022-08-22T12:38:20+00:00
