What's your EC of your nutrients?
I've not used any yet. I hear ffof has food in it for a month. Botanicare calls for like 20ml per gal. I find that absurd..? What would u think? I'm leaning half that myself. At a guess. Also last runs I've used ppms. Is ec a better way of measuring?

Maybe a 6' outdoor plant I'd dump 20 on it. Lol

I agree. Don't change too much at once. And be cautious of how much cal/mag you are using with the dolomite added now. The combined calcium from the lime and the cal/mag can lock out magnesium.
Gotcha. Wasn't aware. So using 70% ro and from what I've read botanicare is low on calcium anyway, would u say 5ml per gal is good? Also my very 1st question was, should I add it on water only days? Using dolomite for ph buffer, didn't realize played such a big part in calcium as well.

See, to me lockout, overfed, underfed, the rest of it look all the same to me. I wish it was cut n dry. But it's not and that's why I'm here
