Olympus up.

Why do you need ph up? It's usually unnecessary with organics.

Yes I know the soil has the capabilities but after multiple runs with very low ph solution 4.0 ph and ones at a perfect ph I definitely have much more explosive growth and faster finishing with all other parameters being the same. But I can't help but have some mag issues with my OG strains.

What kind of solution are you making for organics?

You could use magnesium carbonate sometimes instead of the Olympus ph up to raise the ph and add magnesium at the same time. You could also use a combo of the Olympus, GH ph up (which uses potassium), and magnesium carbonate if you want to get really crazy.

Could also add oyster shell flour or dolomite lime to your soil to buffer it. That Olympus product is just limestone anyway...

It is in my soil already that is why I'm thinking by using so much pure calcium it negatively affects the relationship between the calcium and magnesium? It's really only a couple strains it does it with but they are my breadwinners.
