I can't figure out how to mix my nutrients correctly. I recently got a oakton tds tester set at .7 factor. I have pretty hard water, right at 440ppm. Am I supposed to ignore this number when I add nutes? I think I remember reading it somewhere but couldn't find anything while searching. I use two different kinds of nutes. I've been using fox farm nutes in the ebb/flow and recently been experimenting with lucas formula with hardwater micro in the DWC bucket. After mixing the nutes I adjust the ph with GH dry concentrate ph down. I normally dilute the ph down in a gallon carton with water before adding it to the res. I've seen that shit settle at the bottom before. Then I measure the tds again and this shit makes it go up like 100-200ppm.
I've run out of time for now. Will be back soon to finish.
