I am a hydro noob about to dive in for the first time. I am going to be using RO water and I was wondering if anyone here uses calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate to buffer their RO.
Is a 4:1 ratio going to be ok? How much CaCO3 and MgCO3 by volume do you add per gallon? Do you add aminos to chelate the Ca/Mg?
This is going to be my base for a recirculating coco grow with a live rootzone, so at the least I am also adding molasses for the bennies and 1/4 strength aquaflakes due to using coco as my medium.
