trying to solve a headache befpre it becomes a problem again.

i live in london and the water report says i have 272ppm of calcium measured as hardness, there is no mention of magnesium so am i to presume there is very little to none?

so if i presume there is very little, how much epsom salts should i add to balance it out?
i also have pm cal mag if needed which i bought before i realised i already have too much calcium in the water so im guessing thats no use to me.

i dont want it to get to the stage its at on my current crop where im loseing all my leaves to it, iv tried folier feeding the epsom but not sure i used enough. those are currently 3 weeks till end so not much i can do with those.

i never had it on my last grow with b&q verve soil and different breeder, this time im in bio bizz light with mephisto genetics. they say they never have a problem so i can only put this down to the water.
im buying a ppm meter at the weekend to keep check but roughly how high should i raise the ppm with es?

iv been useing dutch pro soil but will also be going to an sensi bloom throughout the grow.


hope i can work this out as i feel it could help alot of people that live in a hard water area.

thanks for any help..

Any body??? I know someone on here can help with this, maybe it's the wrong section:/

do you have the full report ? i doubt if all 272ppm is cal.do you have lots of build up on the kettle element ?
my water is 160ppm and i still add cal mag to my feeds.led users report to using a lot more cal mag that they would have if using other lights.272ppm dosnt sound like its way high,but then again im a bit of a gobshite.
maybe best put into live help ?

I do, it's in my tread in the infirmary called 4 sick plants, i can't repost it off my phone, it says hardness 272ppm of calcium.

I do have build up and lime scale but not what I would call excessive or undrinkable
