Convert hydroponic EC (mS/cm) to PPM (TDS) and back. Supports 500 and 700 scale conversion factors for all popular nutrient meters.
This tool applies a standard formula from the relevant domain. The computation is deterministic — given the same inputs, the result is always identical. The formula accounts for the primary variables that determine the output.
Optimal 65–72°F (18–22°C); Growth rate drops ~50% above 75°F rootsThe calculation requires: Nutrient Solution Temp, Air Temp, Reservoir Size. Each parameter contributes to the final result according to the formula above. Accuracy depends on the precision of your input measurements.

Enter your own values to get a personalized result for your specific situation.
→ Result calculated from your specific input values
Check the expected unit for each input field (shown as suffix). Converting between imperial and metric units before entering values prevents calculation errors.
When a formula combines multiple measurements, all inputs must use compatible units. Convert everything to the same system (metric or imperial) before calculating.
