Can't help you with the cal/mag question, but I just checked my pH with straight bubbled tap (9+) and 1tsp/gal MB after it's been mixed,settled and remixed and the pH came out to dead-balls 6.
So, in my case, it's dropped pH by just over 3 pts.

Yesh, tap has a higher conductivity too though, if you hit straight RO water with 1 Tsp of maxi, its almost gunna become the pH of the Maxi. LOW AS HELL. I would suggest its use with tap water...the dissolved solids buffer the pH slightly...Like in supersizeme's case, making it a nice 6.0. In my case...my tap starts out around 7...it brings my pH to about 4. A little pH up and were all good!

Im running Maxibloom in coco hempys for the first time and am quite impressed. I did have some Ph issues with 7.2 tap and MB bringing me down and staying at 4-5 on the Ph color chart (GH drops). 1 tsp/gal of pro-tekt brought me close to the color of 6 and this shits rockin!

I've been running Maxibloom in rockwool blocks lately and it is working out perfectly. So perfect that I'm gearing up for a table run with rockwool slabs. For me it's 1 tsp/gal, tap and 1/2 tsp/gal GH ph up. Super simple
I'm a skeptic by nature, but...I'm pretty impressed with the trich production in my room at the moment and the only thing that's changed is the nutes.
True, it's only the third run in a new room and I had some heat issues last run, mites before that...but damn if that room doesn't look impressive for being in the 4th week.
Frost,frost everywhere.
Even with the HPS shot you can see a nice coating of trichs

My water from my tap is coming out at 130ppms and a ph of 7.3 or I can use my ro water with a remineralization stage so it has a tds of 67ppm and ph of 6.8 it makes it rather hard to decide on would anyone think I would be better off mixing it 50/50 cause I can mix either one with 1tsp maxibl 1.5ml calmax 2.5mlpro silicate 10mo liquidkoolbloom and 10ml floranectar and I get a ph of 5.7 ot 5,8 I only ask cause if my tap water seems good enough that I dont have to waorry about total akalinity it will save some money
Couple of shots right before lights on
Frost is good

Try the tap no ro no calmag needed.
My tap water is very similar to yours and I find that if I use tap for the initial res fill the RO for my make up it works out well

I'm always for the simplest possible way of doing things so I would use the tap as is.
Mine is in the 275-325 ppm range and works perfectly, no cal/mad issues ever.
Yeah I also use my tap which is 200-300ppmsI'm always for the simplest possible way of doing things so I would use the tap as is.

hey supersizeme- that plant looks awesome man- very tasty and frosty looking. that's using maxibloom at 1 tsp per gallon? are you in soil,coco, hydro? i'd love to hear more about your setup and strains bro!
Organic soil/ProMix base, 1tsp MB every other watering (bubbled tap) under 1800w HPS
As far as strains go, I have about a dozen running right now.
The ones above are:
Coastal Collision (SFVOGK x ECSD)
Bogglegum x C99
ACAKush

my plant improved their colour a lot since the introduction of maxibloom .
