    So I bought 2 packs (for 10 plants) of this Root Xtender but from what I can tell it is intended for soil grows and I am doing a DWC grow, is there an alternative for hydro grows? I was thinking if there is not maybe I'll dissolve it in some hot water and let it cool down but I am skeptical...

    What kind of PPM meter should I get?

    Hey, I am about to start my first DWC grow, I have everything except a PPM meter and since this is a DWC grow this is a critical aspect of the grow, so my question is what kind of PPM meter should I get? I found someone recommends getting this one, does anyone have a cheaper one they suggest?
