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.

How can I keep blended irrigation water consistent?
A blending setting is useful only if the resulting water is verified.

Why the root zone matters
Changing source proportions can alter the salts and alkalinity entering cocopeat.
01 / OBSERVE
Three checks before you change anything
- Record source availability and the intended blend ratio.
- Check mixing and representative samples of the final blend.
- Review whether source qualities change independently over the season.
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
What varies?
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Blend proportions fluctuate
Inspect valves, flow measurement and control settings.
Proportions are stable but EC changes
Re-test the individual sources before adjusting the blend.
The blend is uniform
Use its measured composition for nutrient planning.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Leave with something useful
Label each water-analysis result with the actual blend conditions.
Keep in mind
Do not assume EC alone proves that all relevant ions meet the crop requirement.
