    And a ec reads either ppm( parts per million) tds(total desolved salts) ec etc. Your going to have to sort which one you are going to use.
    I'm a bit confused because I have got two different ppm readings on my truncheon I ain't got it with me on the bus but I think one is Europe and the other USA I'll have to check.
    I'll check when I get back and get back to you so we can get this sorted finally

    This is an old but excellent thread and I am sure Woody has forgotten more than I will ever know.

    But I do struggle with his NOTE 2.

    I can see it makes sense but it goes against everything else I have read. " Static water level, Nute ec going up means you are feeding to high as the plants can't take any more nutrients so don't drink, reduce ec and plants will drink more then work your way up from there.

    Woodys initial post below

    Note 2.

    Most people assume that with a rising EC, it is the plants way of saying, I don't want more food, here, have some back.

    What is actually happening is this.

    Plants roots take in water/nutrients through a process called Osmosis. Effectively, if you think in terms of the roots having their own internal EC.
    The osmosis process will always try to balance out the EC's, taking from the higher side of the barrier and giving to the lower part.

    So if the EC of the nutrient solution is higher than the "internal EC", then food & water will flow from the solution to the roots, this is the normal process.
    "If however, the EC of the solution is lower than the "internal EC", then the balancing will work the other way and nutrition will be leeched from the roots to the solution. "
    A res change or increase in EC should resolve depending on the other factors such as ph and water levels.
    TO GROW A PLANT YOU NEED TO THINK LIKE A PLANT
