I've just gone back to hydro after years in soil due to root aphids (I figure as they lay their eggs in soil the less soil the better). But I don't have an EC meter and I'm a bit confused as to what you do with them. I never used one before with hydro - they weren't that common then and I always had good yields anyway. I check the ph with a drip tester kit with colour coding (I go for piss yellow) and that seems to work just fine. Can anyone advise me on how to use EC meters and recommend a good model please? I'm using some nutes called Plant Magic which my grow shop recommended for hydro and I have a mixture of strains, Big Bud, chronic and 2 mystery ones, 2 600w lights and NFT tanks.
Thanks
