Bluelab EC Pen

The Bluelab EC Pen and Bluelab PPM Product Description: The Bluelab EC Pen and Bluelab PPM are the latest innovations in handheld conductivity meters, offering the ultimate practical solution for measuring conductivity. Hydroponic systems allow you to provide the best possible care for your plants, and the quality of that care is in your hands. The Bluelab EC and PPM pens measure how much nutrition is available to the plants. You can use either the Bluelab EC Pen or the Bluelab PPM for this. These pens are a compact, quick, and convenient way to manage the success of your plants and ensure they receive the nutrients they need. When combined with our Bluelab pH Pen, you have a convenient and precise system for ensuring optimal plant growth and health. The Bluelab pH Pen, Bluelab EC Pen, and Bluelab PPM Pen have been specifically designed as a cost-effective and effective solution for hobbyist and/or small-scale growers. Why is measuring pH crucial to the success of your plants? Plants need nutrition, which they get from minerals. But they can only absorb the minerals they need if certain conditions are met. A crucial factor in nutrient uptake is the pH of your solution—whether it is acidic or alkaline. This value is measured with a pH pen. With the clever little pH Pen, you can read the optimal pH value and ensure you are providing the plants with the nutrients they need. Once you have measured the pH value with the Bluelab pH Pen and know it, you can add the nutrients. You can then measure how much food is available. This is called conductivity and is measured in either ppm or EC. This is when the Bluelab EC Pen or the Bluelab PPM Pen comes into play.
