Why pH and EC Levels Matter
Understanding and managing pH and EC levels are fundamental to successful plant growth. Here's why:
- Optimal Nutrient Uptake: Correct pH levels ensure that nutrients are available for plant uptake. If the pH is too high or too low, certain nutrients can become locked out, leading to deficiencies.
- Healthy Plant Growth: Balanced EC levels indicate the right concentration of nutrients in your solution. Too high or too low EC levels can stress plants, affecting their growth and yield.
- Efficient Resource Use: Proper pH and EC management helps you use water and nutrients more efficiently, reducing waste and improving sustainability.
