I BOUGHT THE 3 PART GH FLORA NUTES FOR DWC BUBBLER SET UP THEY ARE OPENED BUT BRAND NEW USED A COUPLE OF DROPS SO FAR MY TAP IS HARD WATER SO I GOT THE GH MICRO FOR HARD WATER HOWEVER I OPTED OUT OF TAP WATER GOT AN R/O UNIT IT DROPS THE PPM TO 50 AND THE PH TO ABOUT 5.6
THE QUESTION CAN I STILL USE THE GH MICRO HW OR DO I NEED TO BUY A NEW REGULAR GH FLORA MICRO? OR IS THERE A BETTER OPTION?

OK also asked ghe this is what they wrote me back
You will need to get some of our CaliMagic or the regular Micro because the Hardwater Micro does not contain enough calcium and magnesium for use with RO water.

food processor eggshells, then do it again, add enough h20,making a mush, using coffee filters make tea bags. not sure if it is working, but it isn't hurting

or you could just use you tap water instead of the ro. the MICRO HW is designed for people with hard water in mind

like reza said, you need to use your regular tap water or spend money. buy some cal/mag or something, but don't think you should try a home remedy because if you put organic shit in your dwc you will probably get slimed.

The power of organics, is the nutes remain long after the composting ,If its a money thing, spend it how you like. Organics is crap, like guano, worm castings, all bio garbage including urine, which is sterile. If you want to save money use what you have and improve from there. Learn from your mistakes, Everyone here has made them.
