I'm glad you saw that, I want to say thanks. It's been a struggle getting to this point, but my water game has improved immensely since I read what you said about not measuring. I don't use the same EC start to finish though, so it's kind of a bitch and adds some flair mixing up muscle memory. But if I didn't read your comment, I would've still been fuckin' around with meters for a few hours a week instead of minutes. I only use maxi though. Makes life easy.I have said that. I use simple nutrients that I know the EC of by how much I add so I don't bother measuring the EC I just measure the nutrients. The last grow I just finished I used just MaxiBloom with coco. I mix up 4 gallons at a time. I checked the EC once or twice and the pH the same. The same amount of MaxiBloom to water is the same EC so no need to check every time unless I change amounts which I don't. The same amount of PeKacid lowers the pH to 6.0 where I want it so no need to measure every time. I just mix by measurement and it's always right where I want it to be.
Now if you're fumbling around with some ridiculous feeding chart and a dozen bottles of stuff then you would probably want to at least check the pH as different additives can alter the pH. I don't bother with that nonsense and just feed my plants what they need so once I have a recipe I just keep using it without the need to check EC or pH. I won't bother using my pH or EC meter unless I switch nutes and then only for the first couple of batches to figure out the recipe. After that it's just measure and mix.
