A plant is a living being that must drink, eat, breathe... The water in indoor culture must be very well adjusted; especially its pH. The use of fertilizers alone is not enough. Water being a key factor of its growth, it is necessary to think about its optimization for indoor use. The hydroponic gardener will thus be able to replace nature.

PH and EC testing instruments are therefore crucial elements in hydroponics.

The pH
In hydroponics, it must be between 5.5 and 6. If the pH is higher than 7, the plant will no longer be able to absorb nutrients.
It is the pH meter that measures the acidity of your solution.

EC
Measurement of EC is also essential in hydroponics. The EC or electroconductivity of the water allows you to measure the nutrient content of your solution. And thus to better nourish the plant. No more risks of incorrectly dosing your fertilizer. The EC level should be between 1 and 2.5.

Once the water has been optimised for plant nutrition, think about horticultural lighting that will activate the nutrients that are essential for the plant's growth and flowering.
