*Update* 150 initially ppm. after 30 mins its 125 ppm.
Hello, *
I took a sample of peat/silica about half a small plastic dixicup full of watter (peat included+distilled watter) and let it settle for 30 seconds or so i then poured the watter off the top approximately 1/3rd of cloudy watter into a separate plastic pixie cup and did a TDS meeter test on it, i got a result of 150 PPM (parts per million) is this a bad result or acceptable i was debating on washing my peat silica mix to drop that result but I'm not sure its necessary, plants haven't been growing in it long enough to determine if its affecting them any advice would be helpful.
thx for reading
