I made an error in my earlier statements it is ION Selective Electrode.. A little embarassing for me actually, and the meter to achieve PPM must take the Electrical Conductivity and converts that to PPM.. EC/TDS/PPM is all using the same principal to achieve the number.. That in fact makes EC the same thing if you know the conversion rate you can exactly find the EC of that meter...

ION Selective electrodes are sold for almost all the elements I believe although trace elements would be hard to split hairs that far on? I dunno you can search.. try googling ion selective electrode nitrogen

Europe, never been there, can you tell us how you really feel?

fletchwoman, I feel really good every time I see your whack-ass posts. I assume you're not even in your twenties yet. The reason I asked if you lived in EU is because only those ladies get so hung up on electrical conductivity meters and readings.

Now, I've got to ask this other question. Are you the former Filthy Fletch from this forum? Because if you are, I totally understand why you've got a hard-on for Stinkbud. Oh, and do us a favor and post pictures of your perfected harvests since you're so anal about precision.

On another note, I've known a lot of girls just like you. I bet all the girls used to pick on you a couple of years ago in middle school. You may be laughing all of this bickering off (and so are we) but, the fact is, you don't know how to respect people or contribute to a community. You're just another girl who's disappointed with her life so you feel the need to cause commotion in a community over nothing (think long and hard about what I just said, you might scare yourself). You're creating drama and it's embarrassing how we're all engaging in it. But, unfortunately for you, this is a community where we're all trying to help one another and not criticize without something constructive. What have you done for this community?

I'll ask again, what have you done for this community?:leaf:

You guys think im an asshole for asking a question that should have been asked two years ago?

PPM's means nothing, EC means everything.

You, keep saying EC is everything and PPM is nothing.. One day when you figure out how these devices work possibly you will get a rush of blood to your head, of exactly how stupid you really do sound.. Plus you think karma is a joke, keep going after good hearted people like Stinkbud and ask why you got root rot that wipes your crops out.. You are the type of person who says "but I did everything just like you MeJuana and I failed".. Cuz you're a spoiled little jerk who is paying back years of bad karma.. It takes a whole lot more energy to be an asshole too!

Jimmy I know you are right this is some old hater with a new name and this is obviously a youngster so I bet if you think it is that other guy it is him.

I built a 3 rail system, now I am back down to 2 rails and I think I will supplement the rest of the room with CoCo Coir potted plants.

I'm not an AC pro - but I know a bit about AC's and can answer your questions. All AC units act as dehumidifiers. Some actually have a setting that just dehumidifies - you can often find this feature in the spec sheets. The water for window mount AC units usually drains outside - you've likely seen a puddle under one... that is the dehumidification in action! On a side note - the runoff from your AC (or dehumidifier) is usually close to 0 PPM water! Add it to your res - feed it to your plants again!....and again...and--you get the idea!

Window units recirculate the air in the room. They do not exhaust your room air out the back. Without modification, the water from the dehumidification will drain out the back. Folks have been busted by this water! It actually smells of weed and can easily be detected by dogs and law.

So this is good news - Your AC will actually help you circulate your CO2 in the room! Get the Sentinel CHHC-1, or similar product to coordinate your exhaust with your CO2... so you dont exhaust your precious CO2.

On the note of CO2 - with tanks you don't have to worry as you do not have a burner that needs oxygen. But, if you do use a CO2 gen with a burner, you will need to exchange the air in your room more often to properly combust the gas and max what the burner can generate. With tanks, Stink is able to seal his room without having to exchange air that often. With a CO2 generator you need to be sure there is enough oxygen in the air so that your burners burn a nice blue color rather than yellow. 2 reasons: If the gas does not combust completely it leaves carbon monoxide - deadly gas! Secondly, if you do not combust completely your burners will have to fire up more often because they are not efficiently producing CO2. This then raises the temps in your grow room as your burners try to maintain your PPMs.

I learned this by reading my Hydrogen manual. And then applied this info to a zone that was running hot as hell - working the large AC unit overtime! It was sealed and we were not allowing enough oxygen in to completely combust and our CO2 gen was working overtime... Our flames were more yellow. We started exchanging the air once every couple hours and the CO2 gen immediately started working more efficiently - burning half the time to maintain 1200 PPM.

guys i just did a calculation of how much power 4 600w hps, 1 215 T5, 2 650cfm fans, controlers, pumps, a/c, ect. would use.

i caculated an average of about 52kwh used per day or 1560kwh per month. @12cents per kwh that would be just under 190 dollars per month. is that number low?

please feel free to chime in.

I dug up some 3 rail pics for ya, the slope I found was not needed I was solving a problem I didn't need to solve. I am now 2 rails into the side of the rez, but I want to warn you to use a big volume rez if you will do this as obviously the water line will be lower.

Not just Strain, Pheno type also. I had a super skunk pheno fully finish in 45 days with a huge yield, i lost it. then later found a sister SS. it finished later with a small yield. It smelled the same as the 1st strain though. Always good to see or trust the person vending your clones SEEN the mother in flower. Thats the only real way to be sure about your yield or flower time. I just bought some Apollo mist teens, and you could tell they'er all diffrent pheno types. it sucks, some are tall and some are short making it hard to get my light down on the short ones.

Lets start over, Im sorry to Jimmy and whoever else I offended the other night. Kinda lost my temper.

The only reason I care is because I thought 2000+ ppm's is off the freaking chart, but after doing some research I found the plants can take much higher Nute strength with a aero spray and drain system. Still not sure if you need to? Heath Robinson grows MONSTER TREE's and only runs a EC of 1.2, which is 600,768,or 840 ppm's depending on what conversion your meter is.

My point is:

If I show you a grow, and tell you my nute formula and PPM's that I run. You would have NO idea what the strength the formula is "Without me telling you what my EC is, OR what conversion my meter uses"

My Hanna meter has PH,Temp,TDS and EC, it is set to .5 conversion right now. (It is selectable).

Which means if it shows 1000 ppm's it also will show a EC of 2.0

If someone tells you their EC you dont need to know PPM's or what meter they use, because EC is a universal measurement.

The growers across the pond in Europe"Heath Robinson" Ect, always use EC in their threads because PPM's are so confusing and could mean three DIFFERENT EC's, .5,.64,and .7 conversion.

You are doing EVERYONE a huge favor if you find a formula that works great, and want to share it on a forum. Give what "EC" it is, NOT ppm's.

I have already posted this chart here, and also seen that it was THEN posted on Stinkbuddies, nobody seems to care.

Take Care,

EC or PPM, either one of these are worthless to you if you simply want to copy some elses homework. it isn't that we won't let you or tell you the answers... This is because you don't have my grow room, or my precise phenos and the values I am using will vary from yours. This is why everyone is saying you are viewing the whole thing wrong, and you stand alone in your view if you haven't noticed..

People do things in their op and it varies from others so they think they have struck into a vein of knowledge, when really you have done that it is just you are learning to run your specific op. Which you will unfortunately have to do, but you will pick up skills along the way and if you had to build your room again, this stuff would be child's play.

Run vertical if your canopy isn't the same height, plus I believe vert out yields horzizontal by a mile.
