FAQ's

  • What ETI products are most relevant for hydroponic growers?

    For hydroponic growers, ETI offers essential environmental control tools. Key products include various thermometers (like max/min or probe thermometers) for monitoring air and nutrient solution temperatures, humidity meters for air moisture levels, and pH meters (like the pH PAL Plus pH Tester) for accurate nutrient solution acidity testing. ETI also provides data loggers for continuous monitoring and probes tailored for liquid immersion.

  • How do ETI thermometers help in hydroponic cultivation?

    Precise temperature monitoring is vital in hydroponics. ETI thermometers allow growers to accurately measure both air temperature in the grow room and, crucially, the temperature of the nutrient solution. Maintaining optimal nutrient solution temperature (typically 18-22°C or 65-72°F) is critical for oxygen solubility and nutrient uptake by roots, preventing issues like root rot and nutrient lockout.

  • Does ETI offer pH meters suitable for hydroponic nutrient solutions?

    Yes, ETI manufactures pH meters and testers that are well-suited for measuring the pH of hydroponic nutrient solutions. Accurate pH control is fundamental for nutrient availability to plants. ETI's pH tools, often featuring clear digital readouts and easy calibration, enable growers to maintain the ideal pH range for their specific crop.

  • Why is a humidity meter important in a grow room, and does ETI offer them?

    Maintaining optimal humidity levels is essential for plant transpiration and overall health in a grow room. ETI offers reliable humidity meters and thermohygrometers that measure both air temperature and relative humidity. Monitoring humidity allows growers to adjust ventilation or introduce humidifiers/dehumidifiers to prevent issues like mould, powdery mildew, or excessive transpiration stress on plants.
