EC, or electrical conductivity, is a common method used to measure the concentration of a hydroponic solution. While this process may seem complicated at first (trust me, I thought so too!), it is actually a very simple process that will immensely help your hydroponic experience. My goal for this video was to break down EC as it relates to hydroponic gardening, and make it simple to understand and implement in your own system. Let me know what you think!
