So you think I'd be ok without the calmag? I've always heard you need to supplement with calmag with heavy 16 base. About the EC, I ran into some problems when I was running 2 EC so I wanted to try a less potent solution and go up if I need to. Most of my plants are low feeding strains so I've read.Basically yes make the difference up with base. 650 just seems so low to me considering all your additives even with Heavy base. If U feel u can't increase the EC (at week 2 I'm at 2.2+ but grow trees w/ verts) then cut back on the adds. Heavy has plenty of calcium for example.
Really? Where did you hear that? You should talk to Bryce at heavy16. The guys there know their stuff. And they are super helpful. About the cal/mag.So you think I'd be ok without the calmag? I've always heard you need to supplement with calmag with heavy 16 base.

I'm on a 500 scale. I'm actually closer to 800 ppm right now which is just a few ppm short of their suggested feed per their calculator. But again half of that is additives and only 2ml/gallon of their base.Really? Where did you hear that? You should talk to Bryce at heavy16. The guys there know their stuff.

Heavy is formulated with 6 types of calcium and 4 types of magnesium. Should be mixed with RO too. Really shouldn't need call/mag with their stuff. I had to cut the massboost on the aptus line when I started using heavy base. Mass boost is aptus' cal/mag.
600 is low for 2nd week as well. You on a 500 or 700 scale?
But I understand wanting to finish bottles and not seeing stuff sit around.
