the ec is between 0.6 and 0.8 bout to check ph staring ph was 7.2 then after tjat im adding some rhizo and se if it lowers or raises the ph saus 2 use 40 mls per 10 liter ill probly add 20 mls tho im also in a 20 liter buket
Not sure about the stuff your using but with House and Garden you add A+B to water then P.H it after 30 minutes adjust PH let it sit another 30 then recheck the PH if it was still good then add the additives,so I wouldn’t PH the water till I’d added the base.

my kline of thinking was ph it after iv adeed every thing i dont wait 30 minites but i wait around 5 and stur it or fill a container jug thin and pour it back into the buket but generly i dont ad any ph down untill tue ph reading is stable

both said on label giv it 40 mls per ten lters im in 20 but the 40 mls perten liters is what it says 2 give fore seedlings
Yeah and that came out to 0.6 E.C ? remember your on tap water so if your tap water is 0.2 EC and you add 0.6 EC worth of nutes your mix will end up at 1.0.

I’m not familiar with the nutes your using but H&G designed their line that way so if the directions say not to PH till after you’ve put in your additives do it that way

PH is the amount of hydrogen in something the more hydrogen the more acidic something,water will absorb some of it over time

something to look out for is the amount of nutrient per litre you add,the stuff your using is 8ml/L !!! H&G maxes out at 3ml/L so you use almost 3 times less H&G compared to the one you have so it may cost a little extra to buy but actually works out cheaper.
This is my feed schedule for making a 100 Litre mix for coco with H&G gear but you can use the EC values still as a guide.
