The relevance of EC in a huge reservoir

carb
9 years ago

Hello,

I understand that certain plants prefer a certain level of EC than others to grow well.

Is this because the plants prefer certain concentrations or is it because the higher EC plants want/need more food?

I am hoping the answer to be the latter because if high EC plants just need more food, then wouldn't it make sense that they would also grow well in a larger reservoir but a lower EC? ie. a vegetable in a 1.5 EC 5 gallon res would grow equally well in a 1 EC 50 gallon res
