@Lou Ekus, do you recommend dosing this at the same frequency as 2 part?

Currently running BRS Balling Hybrid which calls for dosing twice the volume daily of Part C of the other 2. Wondering if I can do this once or a couple times a day or continue with the same hourly frequency that my Cal and Alk dose.

The reason the BRS formula calls for twice as much Part C in relation to alkalinity is that the true Balling Method uses sodium bicarbonate and the BRS version uses sodium carbonate. You can dose any of these at whatever frequency you would like. The dose can go in all at once, or it can be broken up through out the day. It doesn't matter very much at all.
