Simple Hydroponics - Do You Need a PH & TDS Meter?

What is PH? Do you need to adjust it to get started in Hydroponics, and what is TDS? Do you need a TDS meter to properly regulate the nutrients in your Hydroponics water reserve? On our site link below, we list the best TDS ranges for a variety of garden plants: downloading our free Quick Start Hydroponics PDF guide: greenlivingoffgrid.com/do-you...

I love this new version of video. You have more camera comfortability which is good to see

Thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate your encouragement. I've been working on getting better at videoing and doing a lot of it in the process. I also recently changed out my mics, but some of my older videos that I'm still working on the editing have the old mic which didn't have nearly as good of sound quality that this new one has in this video. Anyway, I'm learning a lot and should have quite a few nice videos coming up over the next few weeks. I have a lot in the editing plate right now, but they'll be ready soon. Enjoy! :-)

Your video was so helpful! ❤ I too have well water. I’m new to hydroponics. The whole meter thing is so confusing. You explained so much so well! I subscribed and hit the 🔔

To lower the pH make a ball of used coffee grounds and float them in the Hydroponics to lower the pH. If your feed is to acidity then you can add wood ash from non-treated wood

Thank you so much

Just what I needed it is 30 degrees here today in Nysa Poland

Hope I get to see your website

I found the over-focus on TDS/EC in hydroponics to be confusing. Every fertilizer mixture will give slightly different EC values just because each component contributes differently to the EC. If you want to do it right, just drop the EC meter, get a gram scale, and calculate the element ppm from the bag and target one of the various ranges listed by horticultural extensions (like Sonneveld’s hydroponic lettuce recipe). The EC meter is only useful as a means to measure your starting point, and then to measure how much drift you're getting throughout the week. Trying to compare those values to other growers is just fumbling in the dark.

Hmmm...I guess I will need a lot of experience to know how much of fertilizer to add to the solution after it is absorbed with growing plants, pH is no problem😒
