And fill my rez with this. Or?sorry just smoked one. Lol

Yes fill the res, add the mag sulfate then add the nutrients 50/50 to bring ppm to 700ish then ph down. Then check ph in 1hr because it's going to rise a bit from the tap water off gassing. Then record that number and the ppm. In 24hrs check both and write them down again

Make sure you check both in 24hrs this is going to tell us if we need to add buffers for the ph to keep it more stable.

Best I could do for roots I just drained the system they look better. I use a product called enzymes komplete. Yes with a K. They were much browner 3 days ago.

Ok not to bad yet. I think see some slime. Temp adjust your tap water and if you have a sprayer rinse the roots if there is any slime on them.

Do you have any beneficial bacteria or h2o2?

30 % mixed down to 3%. @3ml/l that’s 11 ml a gallon. ??

I would do 1ml per gal at 30% but yes dilute by atleast 10x before adding to res.

If you have diluted it to 3% then yes 10ml a gal

Added: and come hell or high water you add that ever 3 days

I suggest you get RO water, mix cal mag, stir, then micro, stir, gro, stir, and finally bloom and stir. That's it. You can do this in a 5 gal jug with 2-3 gals of water, so you can shake it well between adding parts, but for as much as the res requires. I usually mix 20 gals worth of nutes all in order, into 2 gals.
Then pour it in the res along with the other 15-18gals of RO water.
No ph adjusting, or adding fulvics or anything for that matter. Keep it simple on the nutes and see how that fairs

Also an option but with 150ppm tap there is no need for RO. Most will be calcium and at that ppm I highly doubt much sodium maybe 20ppm. The mag is usually a bit low in tap so adding some mag sulfate should do the trick ending ppm will be about 175-200ppm and RO and cal mag will be about 150ppm. The extra 50 he has will be made up of sufates, phosphates some micros etc.

Not much different

This is what i have been doing,other then ph ing,it takes 3 days to get it down to 6 with a low ppm like 700 total.

After we get all this sorted we gonna go over your environment. Calcium is passively uptaken for the most part so making sure you have good transpirtation is important. But get this is order first
