    Mg in my tea

    if I want to add some epsom salts to my tea for some mg do I put it in the mixture before I brew ? Or do I just add it in afterwards and stir ? Would it even matter ? Excuse me this just crossed my mind after a bong

    Does PH DOWN effect Microbial life in between feeds?

    so I am aware the Ph'ing is unnecessary when using AACT and infact the acidity/salts will kill the microbial life given by your AACT's. My problem is: I use well water that has a PH at around 7.8 which gave me fairly bad PH fluctuation issues early on as it is so high (leaves curling, spotting...
