GH CaliMagic. I'm using ro water. 0ppm, high ph I think it's like 8 or 9 range in ph but at like a 7ph tap on the bluelab. Anyways how much Calimagic should I be using? It's brings my ppm way the fuck up like 600ish when I followed instructions on the bottle. How many ppm should I add before I add my base nutrients? I think I been shooting for 200ppm but I can't find any answers on Google. Please help. I'm using general hydroponics trio. The micro then grow then bloom. Then I add rapidstart. Then I add hydroguard. Then I test the ph and adjust it between 5.8 and 6.2. Then I have healthy roots that are happy and white like every gardeners dream. My plants are liking what I'm giving them. Not showing any signs of deficiency or burn from the amount I'm feeding them. Keep doing what I'm doing or how much ppm should I feed my ro water? Please and thank you?

Nobody is answering my post so I decided to use google and found my answer. Instead of worrying about how much ppm it is. I read to bring it up to. 2 to. 4 on the EC, then add nutrients. Or if using tap your EC should be in that range when starting also. I use 0ppm RO water so I have to add calmag.

I use it. Great success for years with the gh 3 part flora series. With LED's, I use 20ml per 5gallons of RO. I just use 4 TeaSpoon(5ml) dropper fulls.

What is your ppm or ec at after you add calimagic? Before you add nutes?

You got it.
Add hydroguard after you adjust ph, though.
