An EC meter is an essential part of your grow kit if you’re growing cannabis hydroponically.
They are used to test the electro conductivity of your nutrient solution, and can give you a good idea of what your plant is eating.
EC meters will measure the strength of the nutrient solution so you can give your plant more or less food if it needs. Learn how to use EC properly in the guides in this section
If you need help, or have any questions about EC meters, than sign up to our cannabis growers forum and ask our members what brand they use.

EC, stands for “Electro Conductivity”, and is a measurement of how many dissolved salts are in your plants feed. Most growers will use EC meters for hydroponics and coco grows, but they can also be used for any medium if you’re growing with salt based nutrients. There are a few ways to measure the EC …
When growing hydroponically, there can be changes in reservoir levels, that sometimes, can cause imbalances. You can measure EC, and pH, and water levels for optimal feeding. This guide is for anyone suffering with EC and pH fluctuations in hydroponics systems. There are 18 different conditions you will find your reservoir in when growing hydroponics. …
