well if you are adjusting PH with standard PH up and down you are adding inorganic salts

First of all, you all appear to not be using the product exactly as intended.
The idea centered around not having to add PH is because your PH will fluctuate frequently. The fungii, bacteria etc all poop and I forget which one does exactly what but one poops acid and the others poop is a base. So the natural symbiosis of life will cause your PH to go up and down up and down. Your plant will essentially get around 5-8 ph throughout the week give or take on what little microherd is winning the poop war at the current time. (They are pooping the nutrients your plant is using and you end up ingesting... yummy.)
Secondly, you are encouraged to brew the nutrients for atleast 24 hours but preferably 48. This will get your microherd working and alive.
Basically what you do is put your mixed nutes in a big bucket and a fish tank airstone and bubble the stone (This ist he most important part or after two days it will smell like ...poop (your poop)).
SO yes, the PH is around 4.5 to 5 when you first mix it.. but give it a try after you aerate it for two days. Then check it and you will see it has changed. Mine usually starts aproaching around 6 when I finally feed it.
That is why you dont need to mess with PH. Sorry it is not more technical but you get the idea.

mercilus, finally someone who understands organics and explains it in lamens terms for these people who mistress had confused
no need to ph
i will disagree on the aerate thing for so long, the stuff should be fed within 24 hours otherwise it will reek terribly and your gunna have a layer of foam from that air encouraging the microorganisms from spawning

Tell me about it! That stuff smells like diapers.
I wish I had seen the "no need to adjust" the first time I used it. They should stress that a little more.

Maybe the label isn't correct? I'm going to call GH on Monday.
1.5 ml / gallon of CaMg+ was worth .2 EC in my 20 gallon res. using the quart bottle.
Running it through the nutrient calculator on CannaStats provides the following profile for 1.5 ml/gal: 5 ppm Mg and 23 ppm Ca.

Do you pH your water your RO water with the general Organics and what PH do you do it at or do you just mix it as is in feet no one has stated if they pH the water after they put the mixture together just what the pH is

So you too do you pH your water after adding the nutrients and what PH are you using I try to pH my water after nutrient adding at 6.6 - 6.8 is this good or should I be leaving it as the water hits the water
