Dial to EC, not to grams

The nutrient side of steering is deceptively simple: run a defensible base program and let measured EC — at the emitter and in the root zone/runoff — be your control variable. Every manufacturer's chart is a starting point written for someone else's water. Your job is to translate it to your source water and your sensor readings, not to follow printed grams.
