Blumats with coco and canna a+b line

So I'm planning on using blumats with canna coco a and b and also will be using a ro system what would people recommend on nutrient strengh and also what additives would I need because I'm using a ro filter also is there any nutes you wouldn't use with blumats I'm also going to be running a separate line to each pot to water myself so I can adjust if a plant needs more notes than the rest also I've got a fuel filter so was thinking I could test the ec before it goes through and test afterwards to see if it effects it much and I would be running drip clean too
 
What's wrong with your tap? You shouldn't need to add anything to Canna Coco A+B, even with RO water.
Nothing but I'm getting a ro filter for my fish tank and thought why not use it for my plants and I thought I would need to add something seen as I'm filtering everything out of my water I remember when I last used their calculator it asks if you had hard water or soft and it adjusts for that

It all depends what the meter says. But I know Canna's lines are designed to be used with tap water. You may experience more stable pH with your tap compared to RO with the added carbonates.

That being said I've run Canna Coco with RO without problems.

Thanks I'm guessing I might need to add more calmag but think I'll keep it simple to start

I would go with a simple drip system instead of the blumats. They are unreliable, clog easily and I don’t know anyone that has stuck with them after trying them.

You don't need calmag with Canna Coco, it already has enough Ca and Mg(more than most "Calmag" products). Adding more is not advicable and may be counter productive.

I don't understand why people have issues with blumats. I found them to be extremely simple to use and have only experienced one issue which was when I first used them and did not set them correctly and had a runaway. They've worked flawlessly for me ever since when I use them.
