Wow, the best explanation I have ever come across with. Most people will just focus on TDS/PPM but since EC is like universal, it make sense to use it instead. pH adjustment is also great. Kudos sir.
i just started to use the general hydroponics maxi grow maxi bloom and koolbloom powdered. changed from bontainicare pure pro. loving the dry mix nutrients so far
Hi Sir! I’m new to Hydroponic Farming and after going through your videos it’s been very helpful. Please also explain how long can the stock nutrients can be stored and how.
Very nice explanation, just a small query so prepared Nutrients solutions (200ltrs) can be given directly to the plants through NFT tanks or again will take some of that portion and mix in NFT channels tanks with RO Water again request you to please confirm
Thanks for your feedback. I am working on an online course. Till then, please have a look at th-cam.com/video/XO7Q1LWF9E8/w-d-xo.html This video has some introduction about EC. Hope this helps
@@TheGeekgardener Amazing👍 Video..... Will wait for your online courses for hydroponics...Still confused over the various nutrients used during different growth stages Like earlier stage use high Nitrogen and phosphorus like 12-61-0 the fruiting stage 0-52-34 etc do you use same principle of EC per Liter...How to determine at an EC level for these different nutrients and growing stages.... Plz don’t block me for asking so many questions....😱😱😱
Thanks for your comment. Yes, This is the way we need to manage a running hydroponics system as well. There is one change though. Initially I will measure the pH and EC and then go on to adjust. If the reservoir volume is small, it is also a good practice to completely change the solution every 15 days. Hope this helps
Raghavendra, I use this for many fruiting plants i have at home. E.g Tomato, brinjal, Gourds and fruiting trees in container such as Papaya, Lemon, Pomegranate etc. and also for the ornamental flowers
Sir, thanks for explaining step by step mixing of nutrients, pls explain it how to give nutrients to plants stage wise from germination to fruiting stage. Is it same EC or differs and PH also.
Bonjour , MR, Excellent vidéo, please advice how you get number (100) ,100 time concentrated stock. And What is the weight of each bag. can not read there sticker Merci
pH down in usually acid ( nitric, phosphoric or sulfuric). These acids will have ions that will contribute to the conductivity or TDS. But since the acid added is very dilute, the impact on EC is manageable. Always adjust EC first and then pH
The solutions 4 and 7 are standard pH buffer solution required to calibrate the pH instruments/sensor. These are generally available in stores that sell laboratory chemicals
Hi Sir, I am new to Hydroponic, your explanation is super and learn lot of new stuff. I have a question here. How many days we can use this nutrition mixture for a hydroponic system ? Do we need to check the levels of EC and pH in regular intervals ?
Sir i have a question When the plant are already consuming the nutrients so what happen the EC level start to raise and the water level in the tank start to decrease. So my question is to avoid the high EC can we top up water back to the normal level of the tank as it was at the beginning. Is it appropriate to do so? Thanks
@@TheGeekgardener Hello Sir, Am having trouble nowadays with my NFT System. Sir i have just transplanted my cucumber seeding to the NFT pipe. Ec is 900 and ph was 6.2 But sir in less than one hour my ph have rise to 8.4. I have used phosphoric acid to bring the ph down but again in less than one hour the ph is 8.2. What do i need to do and what can be the cause of this quick ph rising. Thanks in advance Sir.
Thanks. pH correction happens by adding an Acid or a base, which essentially will dissociate into ions. If the addition of pH down /up is marginal then its usually not an issue. But if you have to add considerably large amount of it that it affects the balance of the elements in the fertilizers then lot of consideration has to be given to the water quality, type of pH down/up used, nutrient recipe used. We do a thorough study and remedial measure on all the farms we setup.
Hi..have one more query.. For preparing the nutrient solution for leafy and fruiting type vegetables.. Is the combination of NPK(19:19:19) + Calcium nitrate + Epsom salt good?. Currently we use the NPK (4:18:38) which is hard to find..so wanted to see alternatives..
If you are using a diluted nutrient solution, touching it is not harmful although i dont suggest it since it has fertilizers in it. Always wear gloves as a precaution. Don't touch concentrated or stock solution.
Hello sir, may i know how many grams of nutrient A crystals and nutrient B added to 2 separate containers containing a 5 liter water? Thanks you for the reply ..
@@hrishikeshav5260 sorry about the delay . EC will change slightly depending on the quantity of ph up/down added. Especially if the hardness of the water is high, you may have to use more ph correction .
Hello. I am Ghani from Pakistan. I am working on Betal leaves. Please give me the receipt of Betal leaves nutrients. How do we know when any nutrient becomes low level or high level and how we adjust it.
Barath, it really depends on how fast the pH is drifting. Try to keep the pH in the range of 5.5 - 6.5 if it takes two days for the solution to move out of this range them your frequency is every two days. It has to be feedback based.
Hey! Excellent video, however I have a question. Usually when I use PH Stabilisers , my EC is also tampered, for instance, I prepared my hydroponic solution nutrient to about 400 PPM before I transplanted my lettuce, the PH was about 6.7, when I added phosphoric acid(10% dilution ) to bring down the PH, my TDS shooted to 1100ppm, could you please elaborate on this? I am using the same instruments as yours, the nutrients were from Radongrow.
I will try to answer this question but it usually depends on the temperature and the nature of your growing medium. Assuming if you are using cocopeat, 1-2 times a day should be sufficient. Again it depends on the grade of cocopeat.
I would suggest you go with Phosphoric acid. Most fertilizer stores should carry phosphoric acid. If not you can also get from chemical stores that sell laboratory chemicals. Vinegar is a weak acid and would be required in large amounts. I dont suggest that.
My second comment and question is i c I see your nutrients and was thinking of buying them but they are in a foreign currency and apparently being sold in a country foreign to me. I'm in the United States in Virginia. Can you sell and shipped to me?
Sir I am also a new student. I have been watching your videos continuously. I am really interested with your tomato garden which you directly placed in coco peat. My doubt is the nutrition which you are applying to the root is not recirculating. So how much litre of nutrition should we spend for entire growth of tomato.

pH meter is used for measuring the acid/alkaline nature of the solution. The TDS equivalent of EC can be derived if you have the TDS meter scale. Usually its 500ppm = 1 mS/cm.
My first comment is going to be I wanted to find your pH meter calibration video but it's not in your description. When I googled it it gives me everybody but yours.

Hello sir,
Thanks for such a good explanation.
I have doubt, Is it not required to adjust the tds here?
TDS is essentially EC approximated further to represent weight. EC adjustment is same as TDS only more accurate.
Thanks sir, so we should prefer using which one sir?
@@sanidhyabobde5107 use EC
Which acid u used to reduce ph
We use phosphoric acid for most cases. Sometimes nitric acid depending on the situation.

if ph down solution is adding in water, is there any change in ppm/tds ?i
pH down in usually acid ( nitric, phosphoric or sulfuric). These acids will have ions that will contribute to the conductivity or TDS. But since the acid added is very dilute, the impact on EC is manageable.
Always adjust EC first and then pH

EC will change slightly depending on the quantity of ph up/down added.
Especially if the hardness of the water is high, you may have to use more ph correction .
If you have the right ph 5.5-6.5 but wrong ppm how raise the ppm and not the ph.
But ec will be different at different stages of plant.. Can u plz explain what is the ec for young, growing, and fruiting plant
