I’ve reached out to both company’s and both are like, “it’s not my product” but no helpful answers so I’m doing a little research myself.
Here’s a list of what I’m using...
Power Si (Silicic Acid) 1ml per g
CALiMAGic 1.25ml per g
Jacks 321
First I had to figure out why my RO ph was dropping from 6.8 to 2.8 after mixing everything, YES my pen is calibrated and working well. Come to find out the Power Si is Silicic Acid so that’s the reason for the lower ph so....
I raise my RO ph to 9.3 then added Power Si mixed well and let air stone for about an hour, remove some to mix my Jacks in 2 containers, add CALiMAGic to my reservoir mix well, mix Jacks 321 and add back slowly mixing well each parts.
Ph comes out to 5.4 now which I like better and also noticed the GhUp I’m using didn’t cloud up when I added to my RO unlike adding after mixing my nutrients.
?Am I going to run into any problems raising my RO ph before adding Power Si or is this ok to be doing?
I read somewhere about doing this so I gave it a try. I feel like if I go to 10ph with my RO I’ll hit that 5.9-6.0 marker I’m aiming for.
