Nutrient Calculator

How to use the Calculator

There are only a few steps to using the calculator:

  • Establish your Base EC reading for a gallon of solution. You can use the default, but it will not be
    as accurate.
    • To do this, add 3gm of Veg+Bloom to 1 gallon of the water. ( Same water source for your tank)
    • Mix it up and take an EC reading. This will be your Base EC per Gallon. Make note of it for all 
      your top offs. This Base EC will only be remeasured when you do complete water changes.
    • When doing a water change, multiply that number by 5 and you will have your current EC 
      reading. 
  • If doing a top-off, test your current EC reading and enter that total in the Current EC box.
  • Set your Target EC amount.  Then hit the Calculate button. 

NOTE:

This calculator is designed to work with Hydroponic Research's Veg+Bloom.
When adding nutrients, be sure to top off your tank. This should be a daily task to keep your nutrient and pH levels consistent.
