My range stops at 1.6 max and great EC meter I have one too. Lasted me 10 years so far.
My source water EC is 0.2.
so I add additional Calmag to 0.4EC then my base nutes to between 0.6-1.6(max)
very rarely do I exceed 1.4EC which when you take into account my source water is 0.2 and my Calmag is 0.2. My base nutes only account for 1.0EC at my max strength.

yeah do it as it’s nice to know what you’re working with.
my source water hasn’t changed in 11 years.
personally I always fill with source water.
Add Calmag
Add base nutes
mix and wait for 10mins.
test EC and then adjust ph.
then water.

In 25Litres I add
12.5ml Plant magic MagneCal
50ml Dutch Pro A/B
gets me to 1.0 I think lol.
ill test tonight as I’ve gotta fill my water container and mix and water in about 3 hours. Once kids have fallen asleep.
But this was 2 days ago and feeding every other day.

Take root I use during veg.
Multi total is ok but I don’t notice a difference using it versus not using it in coco.
Explode
I’ve made my own PK booster of MKP 14g dissolved into 100ml of water add at 1ml per litre around week 5 of flower. Increases EC by around 0.1-0.2 per at 1ml/1L.
MKP cost me mr £4 for 100g of dry fert and it’s around 0-30-50 or something near there can’t remember exactly.
will only be used for 1 week of flower and then just back to base nutes.

I used to use explode at 0.5ml per litre until I see swelling begin (you know when buds are starting to look like buds instead of just pistils) then I would up it to 1ml per litre around week 6 then back off completely

1.0-1.4 depending on what you fed at last time and size of plants.

Yeah I’ve found explode doesn’t really add any EC which is another reason why I’ve began making my own especially with the cost of explode.
I didn’t water yesterday but I am tonight so I’ll monitor what I’m adding in and report back to you later.
but like I said I also only use the hydro coco grow A/B formula as my base nutrient.

Ouch mine reads 2.0 in day 60. I only flush for 1-2 days 3 15 minute feedings on an ebb and flow. I’m still learning the ec. My meter is crap. More of a ppm meter. Doesn’t read 2.0 but 2013
