Botanicare, anyone use this?

On that note don’t forget to shake your calmag. I dispense mine from a smaller squeeze bottle & the calmag has sediment in it that needs a stirrin’, and yeah my Grow and Bloom also separate in the squeeze bottles, so does Karma if it sits for more thn a day undisturbed.

Honestly you should just always shake all your bottled nutrients before use. Even the silica, which I’m almost certain doesn’t need it but I do it anyway

See?

Also I just emailed botanicare to see what the pH of their products are.

We will see what they say.

I think I have issues when it dries out because my medium is very acidic so if it’s dry the pH shoots way down but it’s just speculation.

I’m “Hot Blooded” for those pH results

Be sure to report back, “Dirty White Boy” :wink::metal:

I just looked at my water quality report for my city and it has:

Chlorine: 0.4 mg/L
Fluoride: 1.1 mg/L
Alkalinity: 236 mg/L
pH: 7.6
Hardness: 298 mg/L  AKA  17 grains per gallon

I have hard water so do I even need the CalMag+ ?
