Hey guys
Sorry I know there is a ton of info on this already but I have a question that I just can't seem to find an exact answer too. Ive been using RO water for a while now and I have a few questions about Calmag and epsom salts. My first question, which I think i know the answer too already is this; With the General Organics calmag, can that be put into a res and left for long periods of time? I know that they do not want you to let your nutes stay for more than about an hour and I was unsure about the calmag specifically. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the answer to this is no you cannot let it sit for long periods of time.
My next question is this; Can I just use epsom salts and get a sufficient amount of calmag out of it with my RO water? I believe this answer it yes but how many ppm should i bring my res up to with the epsom salts? i think I'm at like 5 ppm to start out of the RO. also, would this have the added benefit of acting as a buffer when trying to adjust the pH? Any input would be appreciated I'm mainly looking for how many ppm's I should use of just the epsom salts before adding the rest of my nutes, or a better way to do it? thanks.
