Even organic nutrients get broken down into ionic salts. Either by chemical processing or biological processes.That makes no sense the ingredients are crab meal and guano and oyster shell and such.

Yup. Part of the reason organics and ppm just don't mixEven organic nutrients get broken down into ionic salts. Either by chemical processing or biological processes.

these are the ingredients in the pbp right?
Does the earth juice have an ingredients list out of curiosity?
Part of my question was what pbp stands for, like what product are we talking about?
Both end up being inorganic salts.... the only difference is the process used to create them. Organic or organically derived have been or require to be broken down by microbes into inorganic salts and are from living sources that contain a carbon molecule
In the end they are the same to the plant...
A plant CANNOT uptake organic nutrients but rather they MUST be processed into inorganic salts before being available for uptake by the plant.
Ok sorry.Yes but this doesnt answer the question about ec meters.
Ok sorry.
So ec measure ionic salts dissolved in the water. These will be available for uptake. The nutrients in organic form are in a suspension, not actually dissolved into the water. As they are broken down by microbes into inorganic salts they become soluble and will be available and delectable with a ppm meter
At least thats how I understand it
Its more of a compost extract. Just a way to deliver organic nutrients to the soil evenly.Me too. So if @Dirtbag checks after 24hrs bubbling will he get a higher ec reading? Or not until runoff later?
I'll let you know in about 5 mins lolMe too. So if @Dirtbag checks after 24hrs bubbling will he get a higher ec reading? Or not until runoff later?
You have no bacteria in there though so I'm doubting much change. I could be wrong.I'll let you know in about 5 mins lol

I do.. I added fish shit and a tsp of Raw grow microbes to it.You have no bacteria in there though so I'm doubting much change. I could be wrong.
AhhhI do.. I added fish shit and a tsp of Raw grow microbes to it.
That would be a yes. Been about 18 hrs bubbling and both ph and ec are up.
Hopefully the temp comes up a little more, this water was freezing cold yesterday. I think things will pick up once it gets over 70.View attachment 1052803
