| Electro - Conductivity Chart | |||||||
| Electro - Conductivity (EC) or Conductivity Factor (cF) can be expressed as either millisiemens (mS), cF or parts per million (ppm). Example: 1mS = 10cF = 700ppm The pH and Electro - Conductivity values specified here are given as a broad range. It should be noted that different seasons and climate will alter the needs of your plant. As a general rule, in cooler grow rooms, the plant requires higher nutrients. With warmer rooms, the plant requires lower levels of nutrients.
