Reverse osmosis issues

​Recently I went into my neighborhood grow shop and had my tap water tested. The ppm of my plain tap water ran at a solid 380 so the grow store employee told me I would benefit if i purchased a reverse osmosis system. I purchased one, and it brings my water down to about 10-20 ppm.
After doing some research I've learned that reverse osmosis (RO) systems , in fact , extract beneficial nutrients from your tap water, and you need to add those micro nutrients back to the RO water

Reverse osmosis water that has 0 dissolved solids in it is unable to have its PH levels measured. (Plants need correct ph levels)

The plant needs small amounts of micro nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, iron, sulfur. They act as a building block or express way to help the phosphate and potassium and nitrogen do their job.

My ISSUE is I cannot find a good 1 part solution that adds all of those micro nutrients back to the reverse osmosis water, and was hoping somebody has any good recommendations.

Another issue is, I was told the advanced nutrients I'm using we're designed and formulated for growers using RO or distilled water. Can anyone back that up or prove it wrong?

Big bud, bud candy, kushie kush, rhino skin, cal mag (5% ca, 1% mg), over drive, carboload, dynagro grow, bloom, and protek, fox farm beastie Bloomz and cha Ching, gravity , black strap molasses. (Everything i use)
 
Not very well rounded in the whole nute department but it seems to me that you should be adding more nutrients to this puppy in general. In week 4 of bloom (assuming you mean flower) they should be getting much more then just cal/mag. Try some bloom booster, ive read dynagro is pretty good.
 
Oh , I am running dyna gro bloom & protect. Along with the cal mag. And I have advanced nutrients big bud, bud candy, kushie kush, overdrive, and carboload as well. They've been receiving proper amounts of NPK , and the micro nutrients too . Except like I fore mentioned... My formula seems to be lacking in sulfur. I give them a very small macro nute feeding every 2 heavy feeds to act as a mellow flush. Ad by bloom, yes I mean flower!
