Lmao. That should have been..."Absolutely none"

There are MUCH better nutrients available to you.

There are various ways to view "advice" offered here.
You might think that something is interesting and worth a go.
You might think that something sounds hideous and shy away.
I suggest that if the advice calls for "dancing widdershins around the brew, under a full moon" then it falls into the latter category.
Forget not, that almost all that give advice are convinced that their way is best...
And there is much room for disagreement.

Oh, and bone might be considered a little adventurous

But you shoulda pointed out Mashman that by doing a kale wash you needn't add any nutrient to assist a wash to bottom out.....Funny that......

I add, always, a Tsp of DAP and one of Magnesium Sulphate (Epsom Salt). To a similar sized brew. Because I can, and it seems to help.
On day 3 or 4 of said brew I throw in a Tbs or two of Bicarbonate of soda.
That seems to alkinase the brew. Well, lower acidity.
And this is to make a neutral.
