Coconut water ?

Correct about the EC, scales and conversions. The issue is that you may be trying to measure organic molecules that have differing levels or amounts of conductivity. That's what I was aiming at--the inability to know that you're gauging accurately here, specifically because organic molecules are included in that coconut 'water.'

My mother has tried to help me get different nutritional information for various types of sugars, and since that is done only to be in compliance with the USDA/FDA, manufacturers only do what is required (in terms of testing and reporting). EG; malted barley extract. Can't find much in the way of complete nutritional information on it. I do know that it also causes rather wild EC readings, and again I'm presuming it's the sugars. For that, I think the best tool to measure would be a refractometer.

Now I'm suddenly curious about the Brix reading of coconut water....

What brand is your EC meter, by the way? Asking since it can read such a large range, and mine doesn't.

I wish there was a way to get some cuts of The White out to you, that's another that's notoriously difficult to get rooted. My rooting rates with it were, especially during winter, as low as 33%. I would love to see a side-by-side with The White (and any other lines that are similarly difficult to get to root).

I'm suddenly brought to wonder about revegging. I've never done it successfully and stopped trying a few years ago. What if...? Hm.

I brixed "old coconut" water at 10. Aloe vera from turgid leaf purchased atgrocery store brixec at 1.

Wondering if the K in coco water is not so great for a high brix style grow. Or is tbat a miniscule quantity in the scheme of things?

I had no idea about the suggested dilutions (15/1). I poured it on straight. I was thinking if its safe as an intravenous hydration fluid for humans no doubt mary's roots could handle it.

One cup from a freshly cracked "old coconut" was divided between 4-2 month olds (1cf pots). Looked to me like the plants responded to it positively right away. Its only been a few hours but its got me looking for a legit, more convenient source.
