    Default Adjusting EC levels

    If I'm using a combined nutrient such as Canna Aqua Veg and I have an EC level that is too low, how do I increase it? Add more Canna? What about if the EC is too low, add more water?

    I basically need to know how to increase or decrease the EC level. Seems simple, just want to confirm it.

    Thanks

    EC too low? Add feed

    EC too high? Add water

    Increase EC with more base nutrients per unit of mixture ( additives and PK will also do this )

    Decrease with water although this will only dilute the EC a little if the water is hard.

    You need soft water or RO to act like a strong "EC down" liquid

    Thanks guys. And thanks for the EC down info... if I reduce PH and ecothrive neutorilize before introducing this will reduce EC levels more quickly right?

    I'm a noob... wish I could read the plant, for now I have to stick to science
