I'm thinking about measuring off EC from now on, just hit that # and should be good vs weighing grams or measuring scoops. That's how I used to use Jacks RO.

IDK why it takes you hours to mix the maxibloom into water I'm able to fully dissolve 1.6 EC worth of maxi into a res within 5 minutes with light stirring. Cold water too, like 68 °F.

It doesn't take hours to mix. Just a hand stir a couple of times. Dissolves on its own after that.

I usually initially ph to a number lower than what I want because my ph drifts upward for a while with MaxiBloom. My targets are 5.8 to 6.3. I usually ph to 5.6 in the res and then check and adjust as needed before using that mix for the first time.

Interesting, must be your water supply, us who use RO have acidity problems.

Very interesting because their support said it is not to be used as a stock concentrate both with the MaxiBloom and KoolBloom Dry. I want to go against what they say, mix until it stays participated and just dump that in, mix until desired EC. Having a stock concentrate version that you can just dump in until you hit desired EC vs measuring 2 different things would be rad.

To be clear, I mix that up and use it to mix the 8 individual gallon jugs within the week. Usually in a day or 2. The first several times I did it, I checked the ec and made sure there was no weird occurrences in the concentrate and the individual jugs. When the day comes that im able to figure out a bigger reservoir, I will just mix it all in place. Until then, I have to utilize gallon jugs. I wouldn't mix and store it s a concentrate though.

Yeah. Mine is more of a space issue. 4x4 tent where the garden tub used to be in my bathroom. Things get tight in there. Hahaha
