No problem at all lads im glad to be of help.
Bloody hell that was a good long read, informative n interesting but i feel even less likely to start my bubbler now, I dont mind maths n equations but soil is so easy n I rather lazy git since me first grow finished.

Im a little confused.This is my second go at growing hydro.The first grow was pretty good considering I had no meters but I kept the ph in check.This time I have tds meter,but Im confused on the meter themselves.I thought that tds stood for total dissoved solids,I did know that it was a measserment of the nutes though.The ppm i understand that,I dont understand is if the two can be converted over on a chart like the ec,cf and tds.
ex.
mS-cm(sqared) EC CF PPM500(TDS) PPM(700)
1.0 1.0 10 500 700
1.1 1.0 11 550 770
1.2 1.2 12 600 840
And if this is true you only need two meters PH and tds Right?
GEORGE (13-10-21)
I would say thats the only 2 nute meters you need, possibly a thermometer to measure water temp,if you heating the nute solution.
Here is a good little ec,cf,tds calc

What about the ph for growing in canna coco?
GEORGE (13-10-21)
keep it between 5.5 and 6.5 and u will be sweet. i grow in coco now and again for something dif and it gives u a little room for mistakes. u only need 2 meters ph and either tds or ec ! good luck

Thanks guys this info ios good for someone like me who is new and thinking about going to hydro
GEORGE (13-10-21)
thanks very very helpful, just changed to NFT @ Xmas, Want bigger yields...?! me hopes..? just brought a PH tester for £17.00 on Ebay.
GEORGE (13-10-21)
Ok im buying kit now - can anyone reccomend something for EC measurement (i presume bluelab?), something quick and good for PH, and for temp i guess any food probe?
