LateWood,

100% with you on that one.

If it's working, keep it up.

As you say, I've seen both things:
1- additives after
2- additives before

And shitloads of many other things... I guess, that's what the hobby is about. Experimentation.

SIDE NOTE: I'm with you with the CalMag raising EC levels... but for some interesting reason, Dark Energy (high concentrated) does not make noticable changes in the mix's EC/ppm/pH.

Whatever... this experimentation thing is great!

Best to all of you,
