No experience but they don't have any available anyways and there's no iron in that one.


What do you mean "they dont have any available"? Amazon shows it as in stock for me.
I'm mainly looking for something subtle I can put into my RO water for daily watering in between nutes, so the 0 PPM water doesn't deplete them of anything. Can your Bloom booster be used for that purpose? Looking at it.
Iron: Not too concerned. I'm hoping they will get enough iron from all the other stuff I give them (dr. Earth dry amendments and concentrate, foxfarm soil, wormcastings, seaweed fertilizer).
Great info thanks. So in theory I should be fine with adding just RO to plants when not using the seaweed or dr. Earth concentrates bc all the stuff in the soil will blend with the 0 PPM water, yea? I don't intend on ever letting runoff happen until final 2 weeks since I dont want any of the stuff in the soil flushed out until the end.
I still would like some organic product to have at home for peace of mind to quickly bring water PPM up if needed. The organic calmag I posted seems promising, I just wish there was someone that's used it before that could confirm. I'm still open for other suggestions and also still doing the eggshell vinegar thing. But that will take time.
Wow. You are a real chemist lol. I'll definitely do the eggshell method over the next week. I got apple cider vinegar and more eggs today. That and molasses should be a good homemade calmag. Prolly wont even need the TPS calmag bottle but Im still really curious to find out if anyone used it or if there are other organic calmag options I haven't come across yet.
Great stuff man. When making the vinegar/ egg shell mix, is it better to grind the eggshells up than to just crush them probably, yea? And if doing so, why even strain them out? Why not just leave them in so it all goes into the soil eventually?
I use ro water and I have no problems. Ffhf,Bas craft blend, ewc, grokashi, perlite or pumice, all I've used in veg. And build a flower in flower. It's really easy.So I think I found a quick and ORGANIC solution after researching this for so many hours and being unable to find it on my own, someone in here recommended this one in a different thread. Its derived from kieserite and gypsum!!
I'm so happy. Just ordered it. I'll still try the egg shell method but I'm not longer in a rush to do that and dont have to eat tons of eggs the next few days lolol

Yup, in theory my supersoil should have everything they need but a buddy including people in here have suggested that you should always put a little something back into RO water to get the ppm up just a little... it's my first time using RO so trying to make sure everything is right since I really wanna nail it this time, know what I mean?I use ro water and I have no problems.

I hear ya! Do what works for you and your plants. My tap water is crazy high ph and ppm from calcium. I used to dilute it 50/50 with ro water, but the Craft Blend seems to keep my plants green and happy, so I just started using plain ro.Yup, in theory my supersoil should have everything they need but a buddy including people in here have suggested that you should always put a little something back into RO water to get the ppm up just a little... it's my first time using RO so trying to make sure everything is right since I really wanna nail it this time, know what I mean?
Just mix half and half like I used to. It'll bring your ppm down considerably.Yup, my tap is like 350 ppm of who knows what, so I'm trying to go completely without it.
Do your thing! You'll never know unless you try!It kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion to clean water just to add dirty water back. So you end up with water that's not completely dirty, just a little.. ima try to be a purist on this one and see how it goes lol
I ordered the roots organics calmag so I should be straight
