I never meant to say they're not important, more just trying to point out that neither EC, CF or ppm is perfect or in any way better than the other. To be truly honest they all are false numbers in one way or another. I use my meter and the numbers it shows me as a baseline, something to compare to i guess. If my meter says 1000ppm at one point and then 1200ppm at another point, then that tells me there's been a change. Doesn't tell me anything more than that. Unless for some reason you use several different meters from different manufacturers randomly for the same grow, it's all relative.
Well you actually have it backwards regarding this discussion as EC is universal and PPM is not in this case. Yes...technically PPM is parts per million but what meter manufacturers do in this case is the equipment actually reads EC then they use some type of programmed chip or circuity to translate that reading (Conversion Factor) to display a PPM. In some way that really does not make sense and understand the confusion.When you talk about EC it gets confusing for me. You need to know what country they are from to figure out what conversion factor they use. PPM makes the most sense to me.
Uhhhh...I saw someone totally destroy a grow. Could get into a bunch of boring details but it's not 'just' a couple of %. It's at least enough to have a major impact possibly to the point of annihilation...no shit.Plus, what's the variance of the different conversion rates? A couple %?
