The olympus ph up is 10% calcium I use about a tsp per gallon. How much epsom salt should I add so my mag levels don't get out of whack over time.
Why do you need ph up? It's usually unnecessary with organics.
What kind of solution are you making for 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.
A few types of protein hydrolysate some fish emulsion. Some fermented vegetable/fruit products.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.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.

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