I've got a blue lab truncheon was pricey but they have a 5 year guarantee, I've seen the Essentials ec meter on eBay for £35 though.

(EC meter) measures the electrical conductivity in a solution. It is commonly used in hydroponics, aquaculture and freshwater systems to monitor the amount of nutrients, salts or impurities in the water.

Not even want to be greedy just have a nice crop to keep me going.
some folk say dont feed anything for first 2 weeks does that mean only water into the coco for 14 days? And how much everyone says different lol

Ok how much water per plant do you feed them?
And is it the same amount daily through out?

I water from the outside in to make the roots search for the water, to start was only using plastic pint cups, now I'm feeding 2 1/2l you can tell by the medium when it requires water and how much.
Sometimes daily other times every other day.
They let you know if you've over done it the leaves curl touch wood I've only over watered the smaller plant.

Cocopops nice lookin ladies. I have 3 in coco right now that I have fed daily since I planted them in the rockwool. Won't use that again. I have grown photos in coco and always fed daily until I got run off (3 gal Hempy style buckes) They usually took a little over a pint per , I increased the amt when they started flowering. I love coco but going whit soil on the rest of my autos, just to see...
