if you're in hydro, yes, if you're in soil, not so much.

well hell's bells man...that's a mighty fine forest you have for yourself there.
seems you don't need to know about any ol stinky ppm gibberish to me..
very nice indeed.

not at all, no...just keep an eye on the tall lanky one and your gold i bet.
no reason not to know to use and have a test kit around though...for insurance and all

fer sure i think ill go get a ppm meter but are you talking about that last pic cuz i has LSTd it yester day heres a new pic
its was like a ft taller that the others do you think that will help it fill out a little more or something?

no...i am always suspicious of tall plants...the males need to be the tallest so gravity does it's thing with their pollen.
just paranoia really...
i found this while lurking, perhaps it could be helpful?
It's all gibberish to me. D:
it needs time to sink in i think...

i bought them as clones from a collective they are all females but that one was pretty talk so i did the LST thing
thanks for the link very complicated to understand i may be to stoned to get it. in gen did it say that ppm and ec were basically measured the same? so if i get a ppm meter will that suffice or no?
i think i like being an idiot and not paying attention to the ec or ppm lol. it seems to work ok for me

im assuming that i am probably one of the only ppl not paying attention to their ppm or ec and no one can answer my question? really?

Don't fret about EC just yet. I never did, in fact up to a certain point, I had never heard of it even being applied to growing.
I only worried about reservoir temp, ph, and ppm. And I did quite well.
If the post you were linked is too complicated, then I would suggest researching testing pens. Check the hydro store, and see if they have one that can handle multiple "variables".
A multi pen is most likely the best route, IMO.
For example......
Muti-Pen: EC, TDS, and PPM

fer sure its wasn't to confusing im just not sure if i was correct in assuming that ec was just basically a different way to measure ppm. if it is then wouldn't you only need a ppm meter and not both ppm and ec? heres the link to that thread https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/953-talk-about-ec.html#post4801

Basically yes. EXACTLY....no.
Get your self a good pen that does the work for you. It'll cost a bit, but cheaper than getting a pen for this, and a pen for that.......and if you don't know the difference between the measurements and how to convert or calculate....these values are useless to you.
I used a mutli pen, and never bothered with all the ins and outs and differences between the measurements.
One that calculated nutrient strength (tds/ppm/ec), and one for ph. Temps of the reservoir were measured with a simple floating thermometer.
