Can I use Terra Aquatica (General Hydroponics) CalMag with Biobizz nutes?

I read somewhere that I need to use organic PH up and down with Biobizz nutes because synthetic nutes will destroy the microbes in the organic Biobizz nutes. Would the same happen if I used the Terra Aquatica (General Hydroponics) CalMag with the Biobizz nutes since I can't find organic ones and I'm using RO water since there is no way to know how hard the tap water is where I live, at least until the device comes and that might take a while.

pH up or down won't kill your bio-herd and any old calmag will do.

Are you adding microbes to your pots?

I'm growing with organics in ProMix HP and supplement with hydro nutes as needed with no worries about hurting my good bugs.

Keeping the pots warm helps the microbes work better/faster so I also have an aquarium heater and airstone in my water jug that I turn on a couple hours before watering with 82° well oxygenated RO water. No need to pH RO.

:peace:

TLDR basicly palnt will control the ammount of fungi and take the food on its own.

  • Phosphates, both available and unavailable forms, do not kill mycorrhizal fungi.
  • High levels of available soil phosphate (soluble phosphates) result in reduced root colonization by mycorrhizal fungi.
  • Insoluble phosphate does not affect mycorrhizal development. The insoluble phosphate in natural soils can represent as much as 99% of the soil’s total phosphate content.
The amount of soluble phosphate needed to inhibit mycorrhizal fungi colonization is quite variable. It is different with different plants, with different fungi, with different soils, and it is affected by environmental factors such as light intensity, soil moisture and soil pH.
