How many ppm of calcium & magnesium are needed?

I think that’s a Lostgirl hazard. In this case, I’m risking only a few scratches and play bites. :smiley_cat:

I did. If you recall the Star Trek episode in which Scotty’s idea of fun was brushing up on his tech manuals instead of beaming down to the R&R planet like everyone else, that could be me. Except I’d smoke a joint while reading.

So if the water dept can tell me how much nitrogen and potassium are in our tap water, I can calculate its CEC. That would enable me to compute the desired ppm range for calcium and magnesium, using the table I posted above

But that would deny me the fun of calculating the amounts myself! :exploding_head: :scientist: (So I can choose a cal-mag product that best matches my numbers.)

What’s pHb, and why is nitrogen omitted from the sum?

That’s a much larger range than the table recommends, but I suppose we’d expect the range that has no detrimental effects to be wider than the recommended range.

How much per gallon?
