How much do I add for deep water culture before base nutrients? In EC or PPM 500 scale? I have been adding about 200 ppm on the 500 scale. It converts to .4 ec and I'm still getting small brown spots on some leafs which I think is a calcium deficiency. Plants are several weeks into veg from seed only like 5 or 6 nodes, still short and small but almost ready to top soon. There growing fast every day

I already answered this for you dude. Only thing wrong with this chart is that the Cali magic is mixed FIRST. Then Micro, Gro, and lastly Bloom. Also, I rarely change red water. I just keep adding 5-15 gallons of nutrient mixed water when needed. I'll sometimes change water when switching to flower.

I added a teaspoon per gallon like that said Anthe calimagic brought my ppm toike 600 or 800 or something crazy. I don't remember exact numbers but it was up there. That's too high of a dose. I read online from 150 to 300 ppm. Some do 2.5 ml per gal, some do 5 or more ml per gal. So I'm just confused

If your plants are not showing symptoms of a cal, mag or iron deficiency and your base nute has all of your macronutrients, then I would add it very light...about .25mL per litre, 4 litres is 1 gallon, which is 1mL per gallon. Always best to keep it simple, and build up your dosage based on your plants.
