Sorry guys, I was trippen,

Just wanted to know EC, thought a two year old thread some could answer.

Even Heath Robinson would tell you what EC he runs, guess Stink doesn't care.

So, 14 0f your first 15 posts have been in this thread about Stink and his EC.
What bothers you most?...... not knowing the EC or the fact that Stick isn't active in the thread any more.
Have you read past page 50 yet?

Cheers

Dude! What the fuck is wrong with you? I gave you all of the information you needed. I spent time using the thread search tool, something that you should learn to do, to find the post where Stink tells us what TDS meter he uses. Then I went to Google to find the conversion factor that that company uses. Remember this post #8862? Didn't even get a +rep from you for doing that work. Didn't do it for one, but just pointing out that its sort of douche-y to not do so when someone goes out of their way to help you.

I did all of that because I got tired of seeing you re-bump this thread every 10 minutes asking the same thing after people politely tried to tell you how to go about doing it regardless of the meter and conversion factor. The absolute numbers don't fucking matter, it is all about relative to whatever starting point you choose and the particular strain you are running.

You then have the nerve to come back to this thread and rag on Stink after all he has done and after getting many good answers, to say that you "thought someone could answer." You then insult everyone else assuming that they aren't real growers if they don't convert their PPM back to which is rude on its surface and stupid underneath.

You're right, he doesn't care. None of us do. What's your next point? By the way, do you live in Europe by any chance?:leaf:

fletch I am sorry to label you.. You have all guys with multiple harvest circling around you answering questions right now, common buddy don't make them answers to this arguing. Get your shit dialed in and let us know what the problems are... PPM is like this my friend, I mix my own nutrients too so I know. I start out with 1450 and amazingly my .5 conversion meter does read that for whatever the fuck reason.. Without opening a book a PPM meter is an ION Selective Diode meaning it specifically points to an ION and let's close the book there. But thinking it is a precise instrument will get you in trouble just search PPM meter and ION selective diode I guess.. ok see this thing is getting big quick buddy..

PPM is only recorded when you first mix so you know what has changed, so you can know what you plants are doing.. Whole other topic this is just one piece. I start at 1450 and PH 5.8.. Next day I got 1800 and PH 5 for example, too many nutrients right.. So obviously I will dilute to 1200 PPM or maybe less, but do you understand the idea of this really shitty tool we call a PPM meter?

There is something here that is a very precise tool, PH.. PH is the true alkalinity of the solution and can tell you ooodles of information about your solution. A person could easily survive with only a PH meter, but to be honest without having a PH reading your PPM meter is useless.

Actually learning to use these two tools will just come to you over time, with the aid of asking questions.. BUT ONLY IF WE WILL ANSWER THEM.

Don't get hung up on numbers. Watch your plants and make your decisions based on what you see. Every strain is different. Some strains can handle massive amounts of nutes. Some strains burn just looking at them. Some strains like OG Kush are Cal Mag whores and need twice as much Cal Mag as normal.

What's important is to learn to read your plants. The first batch is just an experiment. After that start upping your nutes until you see the tips burn and curl under. Then bring it down a notch. At some point you will get your strain dialed in. It usually takes about 3-4 batches to dial in your strain.

Remember, don't be a measurebator...

Stinkbud's helpful tip:
To calibrate your EC meter, stick it up your ass. If it comes out brown then it's within calibration. If not, then you didn't stick it in deep enough, try again.

Yo stink or anyone else with experience in co2.
Im getting ready to join the co2 club.

I found this http://www.hydroponics.net/i/241151 it seems like a pretty good deal, comes with a timer also, at this point i will not be using an enviro controller just yet so i will be setting timers for the exhaust fan and co2 etc..which brings up a couple questions;

#1 Does the dehumidifier need to be turned off during co2 disbursement?

#2 Ive read a few different opinions on using a fan to circulate the co2, good or bad? or doesnt really matter?

#3 beacuse im using timers, how long to let the room baste in co2 before running the exhaust? sometimes depending on the weather it can get really high humidity quick if the exhaust is not running.

Thanks

Like I thought, Stinkbud isn't real grower, he has no idea what EC is, he gave all you people shit he read from somewhere else.

Whats funny is Stink has NO fucking idea what EC is? He says all these PPM nunbers and he is a clueless dipshit? And you like him?

WTF?

It's not that I like him (although he has helped a lot of people who has needed it), it's I don't care for your tude. WTF?

Have you made it past page 50 yet?

But still, that shit was funny, right there.... I don't care who you are...... that was funny:)

Have a nice day and spread the LOVE!

Well Dan? I started out here on this thread as polite as possible, look it up.

Im kinda wondering now if I wasted my time?

All I asked for was Stinkbuds EC, but he and all of you guys dont even know what EC is? So im the asshole?

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.

Last time I checked my meter it had both PPM and EC on it with PPM being in 2 different scales. PPM = EC so it does pretty much mean something.

Posts on the internet are hard to tell if a person is being rude or not. Some are taken wrong when someone was trying to be funny or just kidding.

That said, if I understand correctly, Stink has not been actively following the thread lately. He's been attending school, so if him personally not answering your question is what gave you the tude, don't take it so personal.

I have threads in other forums (other hobbies) that I have not checked on in over a year. OOPS!

Cheers,
Peace......live long and prosper......roll another one just like the other one......puff, puff, pass........don't bogart that joint my friend, pass it over to me.

EDIT: I'm able to roll a joint (post 50) LOL :)

Looking at my PPM meter the ECX500 scale doesnt even go to 2000 ppm so we will use the ECX700 scale.

1500 PPM would be close to 2.1 EC and 2000 PPM would be close to 2.9EC

I would only run the EC that high with Organic nutes
