50/50 RO/Tap water is not your problem. Chloramines are trouble in hydroponics.
Chloramines Removal
You are looking for ascorbic acid - vitamin C. The store brand is usually the cheapest without other stuff added in. 50mg per gallon will treat water with 3.8 PPM of chloramines.
It's 5 galThe math is simple
The Amt I am using divided by 12 Times 5.
For example 15g Part A divided by 12 = 1.25g (per gallon) times 5 gallon bucket = 6.25g Part A.
Does your bucket really hold 5 gallons? You need to know because it makes a huge difference if it is really 4 gallons.
Sorry I suck at math .. lolThe math is simple

Now you have a reason to learn. Real world application.Sorry I suck at math .. lol
Ok one sec I understand that now.... Since you make it sound easy... LolNow you have a reason to learn. Real world application.
So just think about it like this. We are both using gallons. This is common to us. We are using different volumes though so we need a common number to work with lets use 1 gallon. To get to how much stuff I am putting in 1 gallon I can divide the total amount by 12 gallons. I am using 15g part A. 15/12= 1.25 This is the amount going into 1 gallon.
Then just multiply that by how many gallons you want to make. 5x1.25= 6.25
It is the same with the 100ml of Bio-AG 100/12=8.34ml per gallon of 5x8.34= 41.66 ml for 5 gallons.
Use a one gallon milk jug to measure the volume on your bucket
It's 5 gal I just dumped 5 one gal milk jugs in ..Now you have a reason to learn. Real world application.
