Question about liquid nutrient solution's PPM??
    #26747008 - 06/15/20 04:29 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ello shroomerites
I'm wondering if i can mesure a nutrient solution like lets say grain water with a ppm meter and determine approximately the amount of "nutes" in the water?
And if so what would be the "optimal" range?
Would it be also species specific?

I'm wondering because i make granola bars and maybe i  could use some of this for cultivation..

..I want a certain precision in my randomness

Ok so after some research online i found one sentence that have to do with ppm..
I meant tds/ppm.. sorry didnt specified

    "All of your beneficial fungi and bacteria go dormant after about 1.6 EC or 800 ppm/TDS."

From this website :
https://www.maximumyield.com/how-to-gain-control-of-your-gardens-ph-ppm-and-ec-levels/2/17578

Its not really answering but i will start looking in this direction.

I just made some Potato Dextrose Yeast Agar
And before adding the agar i took this reading


What i want to know really is just how much it need to be saturated.. Does it make sense?

Tds total dissolved solids. For fish tanks you want low tds. Standard treated water is like 100ppm for fishtank. I dont know that tds would indicate nutrients. I guess it would include that. They say over 500ppm for fish is really bad.

Specific gravity would be a better measure than TDS for LC/agar stuff. Since we use starchy/sugary growing media
