I personally use Pink Pussy Salt. It's sustainably harvested from salty/sandy cunts, is free trade, and organic.
Do someone never used Himalayan pink salt in Hydro ?

Well, the 1st thing you should do is quit using RO water Unless you enjoy tinkering down to the milliliter, go for it.
I had the whole set up before. Got sick of farting around filling 100 gallon res with it. Went good ol' garden hose, filled in 10 minutes, not for 5 hours.
My tank was actually cleaner with the chlorine type additive the city in the water, plus we have hard water on top of it- (FREE nutes LOL)
they grew better IMOHO-
-And at worse you'll never notice a difference....My $.02
Edit: and while I'm ranting, don't buy those GH type liquid nutes, you are buying water.
Use what farmers use, Buy a 25Lb bag of Jack's, it's a 1000x cheaper, and is the same shit, once again plants can't read labels....

Yeah that's BS. We've been using it for years and you can tell it's real as it's not as salty tasting as table salt which is all sodium chloride while the Himalayan one is only 42% NaCl with the rest made up of 84 other mineral salts. Lots of trace elements which are mostly good for ya.
One thing to consider tho is the pink salt has no iodine it it which is added to table salt to prevent thyroid problems like goiters. My wife is being treated for hyper-thyroidism these days and can only use the Himalayan salt as she has to avoid iodine for now. She lost 50lbs in 5 months and now weighs less than 80lbs. Skinny as a rail.
Do not use to grow plants.
Only some table salt is ionized. It's on the label when it is. Stating pink salt must be used to avoid iodine is absolutely false. I prefer pink salt for many reasons, but it's certainly not necessary in order to avoid iodine. It sounds like the thyroid problems have greatly impacted your wife's health. I wish you both the best and hope her health recovers. I just don't want everyone to think all white sodium chloride sold for human consumption has iodine. It doesn't unless it was added.Yeah that's BS.

They began adding iodine to table salt over 100 years ago when it was discovered that goiters which were very common were caused by an iodine deficiency. One thing that everyone used or ate in foods they bought before refrigeration was invented as fish etc were salted for preservation was salt. most table salt you buy today says right on the box, Iodized, as salt doesn't naturally have iodine in it.
I'm not saying pink salt MUST be used to avoid iodine as there are other sea salts that you can buy that don't naturally have iodine in them and if they do they will be labelled as having it added. We happen to always have the pink salt handy so my wife sticks to that now as she likes salt on stuff as do I. We also have a box of pickling salt that has no iodine but is too coarse to work in a salt shaker unless I grind it down so we use the pink stuff we buy ground up.
Most people with thyroid problems have hypo-thyroidism which causes the thyroid to run sluggishly which slows down the metabolism and causes them to gain weight. Iodine can fix that. My wife has a severe form of Hyper-thyroidism which greatly speeds up her metabolism and caused her to lose over a third of her body weight in just 5 months. This is a life-threatening condition and can take many months to correct. It was a thyroid storm that ended up with her going into the hospital where they finally found out what was wrong.

Thyroid storm (thyroid crisis) is a potentially life-threatening condition for people who have hyperthyroidism. Thyroid storm happens when your thyroid gland
I use extra salt as I have low blood pressure which is better than having high blood pressure I guess but causes me to have periods of extreme fatigue and isn't much fun. I add one drop of a liquid iodine supplement to my mug of RO water to keep my levels up. I also add a few sprinkles of table salt and a few more of pink salt to it as it makes it taste better than without it and I need extra salt.
I hope that clears up any confusion and thanks for your well wishes.
