Test often, try to baseline your alk before you dose and then add slowly until you reach a level of stability. Lou at TM says he prefers to track via Calcium but I respectfully disagree and track AFR solely with Alkalinity despite the aforementioned delayed Alk change.
I agree with you. it does cause a delay in detection, but calcium testing is, IMO, prone to larger errors and smaller daily changes than is alkalinity.
