EC/TDS Calculator for Plants & Crops
Our EC/TDS calculator helps hydroponic growers easily convert Electrical Conductivity (EC) to Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) or vice versa. This ensures your crops get the right balance of nutrients for strong growth, healthy leaves, and maximum yield.
Why Use an EC/TDS Calculator?
Different plants have unique nutrient needs. Lettuce, spinach, and leafy greens thrive in lower EC ranges, while tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers require higher EC. By converting EC and TDS correctly, you can:
- Prevent nutrient burn from excessive salts
- Avoid deficiencies from underfeeding
- Maintain steady plant growth at each stage
- Boost overall yield and crop quality
How to Use the Calculator
- Measure the EC of your hydroponic solution with a meter.
- Enter your EC or TDS reading into the calculator.
- Choose the conversion factor (500 or 700 scale).
- Get instant results to fine-tune your nutrient solution.
Tips for Hydroponic Growers
- Always calibrate your EC/TDS meter for accurate readings.
- Check your crop’s ideal EC/TDS range before making adjustments.
- Record weekly readings to track nutrient trends.
- Combine EC/TDS with pH monitoring for complete nutrient control.
