pH AND EC Management
The right pH levels impact plants greatly. Even with an adequate amount of nutrients and additives, plants will not be able to absorb these supplements if the environment isnt suitable for their absorption. It is highly influenced by the acidity and alkalinity levels of your soil, growing medium, and feeding systems.
The electrical conductivity of solutions from your fertilizers needs to be ample to know that you are actually feeding your plants the desired strength of hydroponics nutrients. This also ensures that you are not wasting your additives in the wrong solution for your plants.
420 Grow offers various gadgets and solutions. These gadgets will let you know the acidity and alkalinity level, so you can adjust it to the right level in time. Solutions are also available for increasing or decreasing its value to a more neutral level.

EC Management Meters
Adjusting the EC level of your plants can be a hard game for those who are new in plant care. The electrical conductivity meter works as its probe detects conductivity in a solution.
Fertilisers often contain ions. When these are placed in your plant solution, its strength can be detected by these EC management meters.
The search for the right EC meter is made easier as 420 Grow offers you a wide range of these meters that will help you come up with the right nutrient strength.
The Aqualine EC Stick is the perfect buddy for those who want to measure the nutrient strength of their hydroponic systems. It automatically turns on and off and is fully waterproof.
The Bluelab Truncheon Meter EC Electrical Conductivity is also a handy instrument that measures the strength of nutrient solutions.
