That is a particularly non-informative water report. The only bits of any value to use are:

I'll add a bit more later this evening.

Because it doesn't list calcium (Ca) or magnesium (Mg) on the report, you don't know what their relative proportions are.

Normally you could assume that nearly all the dGH was from calcium, but because of where you live we can't, for geological reasons.

Because you have reasonable levels of nitrate (NO3-), you probably have some phosphate (PO4---) and potassium (K+) as well, but that is just a guess.

Ok thanks a guesstimate is better than nothing as a start point I have access to ro so I might experiment a bit.
Can someone just reconfirm excess light and unstable co2 are more of a problem than fert levels.
And the whole point of EI is start high and come down? I think my eyes might be the best indicator until I get more understanding on the subject.

Thanks
