Use the chart as a measured reference
Interpret stages and EC correctly
The chart uses the same combined 3+3+3 mL/L dose at each listed stage. Stage dates and EC entries are general crop references, not proof of the readings the dose produces in your water. Seedlings and established crops may have different tolerances; measure and request advice if the solution is unsuitable rather than silently changing the bottle ratio.
Record actual water volume, readings and additions. Keep the chart with your log and consult the detailed crop guide. The PDF is an educational mixing reference, not a laboratory certificate, registration approval or packaging artwork.
Understand your source water and readings
Source water already contains dissolved substances. Its pH, electrical conductivity (EC) and alkalinity describe different things: pH measures acidity or alkalinity at that moment, EC indicates overall dissolved-ion concentration, and alkalinity helps explain resistance to pH adjustment. A high pH alone does not identify the substances in the water. Water analysis is particularly useful when a reservoir repeatedly drifts or plants develop persistent symptoms.
Measure water before mixing and the solution afterwards with calibrated meters. EC cannot confirm individual nutrient concentrations, the bottle ratio or an independent nutrient assay. Crop EC references are not guaranteed outcomes of the Nana Organics dose. Check your measurements and request crop-specific advice if the mixed solution is unsuitable. Record readings at a consistent time and note water additions, weather and irrigation changes alongside them.
