Measure EC at two known g/L concentrations of the same dry recipe, water and temperature. Interpolate only between those points, then multiply by final litres. The relation is locally approximate. Presets illustrate arithmetic and are not fertilizer recommendations.

How it works

Interpolate a grower’s measured dry-recipe concentration and scale a new batch.

f = (ECₜ−EC₁)/(EC₂−EC₁); c = c₁+f(c₂−c₁); m = cV; 0 ≤ f ≤ 1

Frequently asked questions

Can EC determine the nutrient recipe?

No. EC cannot identify individual nutrients. Keep component ratios and dissolution instructions unchanged; do not combine incompatible concentrates. Prepare a new batch, then measure and adjust; this is not a top-up dose.
