If you are of the non-starving at flush type I'd say at least add the CalMag (w/ < 30 ppm RO water). I'm of the non-starving at flush type variety.Flushing
When getting down to the last 4-5 days of flushing I started using only ~70ppm Sea Crop in my hydro. RO water <30ppm
Is it advisable to add some Hydroponic Research V + B, or maybe just some CaMg?
I don't think you would need much - say 1-2 ml per gallon RDWC. In flower I add Dyna-Gro Mag-Pro 2.5 ml/gallon during mid-flower, down to 1 ml/gallon at end. It won't raise your ppm that much.Seems like that would help, but how much?
Yeah I looked @ Mag-Pro: 2-15-4 Well it is 1 ml/gallon but I use RO too and that's where it's made up from lack of...That's a hell of a lot of P
not at all healthy to smoke
I'll look for plain ole CaMg

Homebrewer likes Dyna-Gro as well and says (from a quick search) "3-1-2 for veg though I've found 1-1-1 works just as well. 1-3-2 for flower is by far the best NPK ratio I've tried thus far. ". Guess as long as there's not too much N in there. I like to taper light and N for 3 weeks going to flower.
Epsom Salts is on many a good gardener's grow shelf.Since we're only talking about the final ~ 2weeks...
How about good old Epsom Salts? or a CalMg human supplement?
himalayan salt is 98% NaCl and sea90 is about 85% do the math mate its what stopped me thinking along the line of feeding plants just sea salt. considering i run about 750ppm on full blown plants in dwc with a 300ppm background ppm orsica's numbers seemed crazy to me. 1500ppm of sea90 would undoubtedly burn your plants, or maybe not....
Sea Crop and T5's and GH waterfarm grow..59 days

Sea90 is what I use; more affordable than Pink Himalayan Salt (about $1/pound) and contains 90+ elements (including almost all the naturally occurring elements). Rather than make a sole, I found grinding the chunky "sea minerals" with a coffee grinder before mixing in water increases the solubility of the "salt".
Their website has a wealth of information on both agriculture and nutritional uses of "sea minerals". http://seaagri.com/
I include Sea90 in my custom grow mix as well as my "mineral brew" (5ml/gallon--every 10-14 days) and I experience zero issues with salt accumulation--no flushing here.
Some may suggest the amount of sodium chloride (NaCl) in sea water products will be toxic for agricultural use and should be avoided. That claim is correct for "table salt" but may not be accurate for "sea salt".
The NaCl in "table salt" is refined, inorganic, and considered a "single metal" salt (sodium only). Just like anything consumed in mass quantities--fatality can result (4-5 teaspoons of table salt ingested all at once can be fatal to humans). But the NaCl found in celery (about 30 milligrams per stalk) is of the "organic" variety and hardly fatal...like table salt is. Therefor, the variety of NaCl not for agriculture use is "single metal" inorganic table salt (there are no trace minerals in table salt).
Even though Sea90 is 80-85% NaCl, unlike the sodium in table salt (which is surrounded by a single element--chloride), the NaCl in Sea90 is buffered by the 90+ elements (trace minerals) thus making "sea water" an aqueous solution that "sustains life"--unlike table salt that "takes life".
Almost all ocean based products like kelp and liquid fish have high NaCl numbers--and these are not "toxic" when used smartly.
Hey castoner thanks for sharing looks awsome. How is the smoke?
A post I made in a different thread....
The "sodium chloride" in Table Salt vs Sea Salt are not the same.

I don't know I'm currently flushing them, but they look and smell awesome..I'm currently smoking some cured buds I had curing in mason jars for about 3 years, taste smooth and powerful smoke....From the Mandala strains..
