What's your nutrient loaded water ppm?

biobizz is an organic nutrient, you won't get accurate results with ppm/ec readings

Well yes, calmag will register on a ppm/ec meter and the order of nutes is typically silica (if you use), cal mag, base nutes, additives and boosters (if you use)
So whatever you read is saying to add calmag until your water reads 300ppm, then add your other nutes, no need to test ppm after as the biobizz line is not going to give any usable info..
all that said, which calmag are you using? do your plants need the calcium? have you given any yet?

Hi! So I'm using cal mag from bio bizz. Good to know I can ignore it, not sure why they said to measure it!
Yes I'm adding a low dose of bio bizz fish mix. About half a ml per litre. Will probably stop mid flowering or at least nearer the end. I read many places saying top max badly effects the taste so decided to skip that! I think the mix of kelp from bloom, natural molasses and fruit ferments, coconut water, fishand cal mag should have the plants covered! I followed biobizz almost exactly last grow using old-timers feeding regiment and my end result was pretty good but not great. So hoping the ferments and more knf style will help improve on the easy to follow bio bizz standard schedule.

then just use their feeding chart? (and they don't as far as I see mention measuring ppm on it)
That being said, they weren't saying measure the total after all nutes are add, they said to measure your calmag before adding nutes based on what you said. What was the source that you found that? It sounds like it may have been back before biobizz had their own calmag or instructions for a specific line.. below I attached the biobizz feeding schedule, calmag is listed at the bottom..

so Hydrostork says; "it is recommended to use reverse osmosis water because you will “start with a clean page” – it will have pH around 6 and PPM and EC at 0. Just add a cal-mag supplement to raise PPM to 300 before adding BioBizz." That's their suggestion not biobizz.
I don't use biobizz's calmag product so I cannot tell you if that is more or less than their dose. You can test though, add the amount biobizz states on the feeding chart and check your waters ec/ppm.
then you can determine if Hydrostork is suggesting more or less than biobizz.
myself personally I think I would start at 1/2 the rate biobizz states and see how the plants react unless they are showing signs of a deficiency.
