Feed & EC
EC readings do not match
First compare the test methods, then compare the numbers. A supplier’s extraction result and drainage from a fertigated crop describe different samples.

Why is sediment forming in the fertiliser stock tank?
Investigate incomplete dissolution or incompatibility before sending the stock to the crop.

Why the root zone matters
Uneven or precipitated stock can change the nutrient solution delivered to coir roots.
01 / OBSERVE
Three checks before you change anything
- Check product identity, batch preparation order and the intended concentration.
- Compare water temperature and mixing instructions with the fertiliser label.
- Inspect whether incompatible concentrates were combined or residual material remained in the tank.
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
What is the sediment like?
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Appeared during mixing
Stop using the unverified batch and review compatibility and dissolution instructions.
Appeared after storage
Review storage conditions and stock stability with the fertiliser supplier.
Source is uncertain
Retain a labelled sample and preparation record for technical assessment.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Leave with something useful
Prepare a verified replacement batch if advised and check delivery before returning to normal operation.
Keep in mind
Do not assume stirring makes a chemically precipitated nutrient available again.
