EC vs PPM | The difference between EC TDS and PPM TDS readings | Is there one? 🤔🧐

#HowtoconvertECtoPPM #HowtoconvertPPMtoEC #WhatisthedifferencebetweenECandPPM
So many times we see EC and then we hear PPM when it comes to measuring the levels of our fertilizer in our water for the #orchids. Is one better than the other? If so, how do you convert EC to PPM or visa versa? Thank you @DavicMcmillan for your interest in getting a comparison between the 2 units that read TDS levels for our nutrient solution. I hope that this video clears things up! 🙏🏼👍🏼 Confused by PPM and EC in orchid care? You're not alone! This video dives deep into these two measurement systems, empowering you to optimize nutrient application for thriving orchids.
