Soemthing looks a little off balance. Why cant you use regular tap water? Why so much calmag? You need about 120 to 175 ppm (x500 scale) of starting tap water. Then add 500 to 600 ppm of a full profile base on top of that. Ph down to roughly 6.0. And you should be good in any coco or peat base mix. With peat your gonna wanna throw in a straight pH 6.0 to 6.3 tap water (120 to 175 ppm) here and there. Some go every third watering...some every other. Depends. But this is for peat mixes like Promix only. With coco coir its straight feed every time. I dont have any experience with Blumats. I got friends that do and luv em. Got friends that ran with em a crop or two and hated them. I personally dont like how there is no control (none at all actually) of runoff with them. Salt build up with Blumats CAN be a problem if you dont do a regular water wand ligut feed to runoff periodically.
