That is such an awesome collection. Have you had any issues with low calcium? When my purple cap was huge in my 300, i struggled with keeping my calcium levels up

Thank you!
ca levels are always above 400 i think the last time i tested it was like 520. Alk is usually low ever time i test. Less than .25no and .04 po

Yeah, green and orange will grow like weeds but the purple is usually much slower. Great collection there!

Think i found the issue
Mag 1540
Ca430
Alk 5.3 dKH

I got some alk/PH buffer mixed up now to start dosing to bring alk up to 8

Maybe i should replace the kalk in my ato with alk buffer for the next run to help get it up and lower mag?
