I was under the impression that ppm testers for your nutes were very expensive. Would something like this work or is this not accurate enough? TDS Meter 0-9990 ppm for Aquariums Pools Hydroponics It says for use in hydroponics as well. Also, how do you check the ppm of your soil. I read that you should test your runoff, but then some growers don't use pots with holes isn't that correct? How would you the nute strength of your soil?
Don't test runoff, it's no where near accurate enough to know what is going on. Test the nute mix DIRECTLY! Try out this tool - Bluelab Truncheon This is the metre I use, and it has done the job for 2 years now, and has never failed me yet (knock on wood)...
Ah, if that's what you were talking about, then yes, test the runoff... Sorry didn't read your post properly, smoked a bit too much today.
