So flushing is for toilets confirmed

 

[rkymtnman]

In autumn in rains, monsoon, etc

most rain comes in the summer months for our country. and monsoons are in summer too. lmao.

Perhaps this is from over-fertilization.

Do you understand what a ppm meter measures?
If you do, you should understand why you got those results.

Apparently they don't.

You can soak any plant matter in water and the ppm's will go up. Run some water through coffee and the ppm's go up. Much of that is caffeine. I could go out and take some radish leaves from my 100% organic garden and soak them in water and the ppm's will go up. They're using completely flawed methodology to come to their conclusion.

Instead of believing people that have actual degrees in the field of science they choose to believe what a couple stoners put in some books thirty years ago.

The ppm pen definitely cant distinguish nutrients from other solubles.
You see it all the time here with people in a full on panic after checking their soil runoff.

Exactly! It just measures ANYTHING in the water parts per million.

You can see that the plant stores nutrients in its leaves and stems, when there are deficiencies it cannibalizes it’s own stores, resulting in yellow leaves in a nitrogen deficiency, or purpling or spots or whatever it might be

Will it store extra nutrients is the question.

Guess you haven’t been on the site very long.

that is incorrect. Try measuring sugar water with a tds meter.

I don’t have any sugar. Could you make a video showing me what happens.

 

[rkymtnman]

what if he's using an EC meter and then converting his soaked buds back to ppms? does sugar read on an EC meter?

 

[twentyeight.threefive]

EC is the baseline measurement. ppms are a conversion FROM EC so there is no “back to ppms”.

they are the same thing. TDS meters measure electrical conductivity and convert it to TDS. Ionized particles like salt increase conductivity of water, sugar does not..

 

[rkymtnman]

one measures electrical conductivity and the other total dissolved solids. and yeah, you missed the joke too.

 

[rkymtnman]

EC is looking at how well electricity can pass through the substances that are present in the water. TDS is looking at the dissolved solids in the water and looks at both EC generating particles as well as particles that don't conduct electricity which is where the main difference occurs

I didn’t miss the joke but I was correcting your incorrect statement.

ppms is a conversion from EC.

 

[rkymtnman]

ppms is a conversion from EC.

a tds meter is not the same as an EC meter was my point.

 

[twentyeight.threefive]

a tds meter is not the same as an EC meter was my point.

How are ppms measured?

 

[rkymtnman]

which was replying to your smart ass reply to waterproof about a hanna tds meter and posting a video . you getting it yet?

The two principal methods of measuring total dissolved solids are gravimetric analysis and conductivity.[4] Gravimetric methods are the most accurate and involve evaporating the liquid solvent and measuring the mass of residues left. This method is generally the best, although it is time-consuming. If inorganic salts comprise the great majority of TDS, conductivity-based methods are appropriate.
