Nutrient Dosing Systems
Fertilizing plants in hydroponics requires fertigation—the process of delivering nutrients through irrigation. Growers can either add nutrients to their hydroponic systems manually or use an automatic dosing system to regulate how much is added to the water.Nutrient dosing systems work with almost every type of hydroponic system and suit a range of cannabis operations, from hobby grows to large-scale grow-ops. In this blog post, we’ll cover the benefits of these automatic systems, how they work and best practices for using …

Understanding EC in Hydroponic Systems
Electrical conductivity (EC) measures a solution’s ability to carry an electrical charge. In hydroponics, EC is an important indicator of nutrient concentration, as it reflects the amount of dissolved fertilizer salts in the nutrient solution. By monitoring EC at different points in the system, growers can ensure plants receive adequate nutrients and track nutrient uptake.In this blog post, we’ll break down how EC works, its impact on plant development, how to measure it and what to do if adjustments are …
