Calcium carbonate/hydroxide flush question

Which is better to use? I've read the hydroxide will burn the mycelium yet works for some. Thinking the carbonate, although apparently it doesn't give a pH swing like the hydroxide does. Also would I use it in the first dunk or only the subsequent dunks for the second and third flushes? I have PES Hawaiians. What would the best pinning/fruiting temperature be? Thinking 76. Not like I have the ability to control it to that degree but it will be in the ballpark.

Peroxide is ONLY used to treat cobweb mold.
Nothing else.

Optimal temps are mid 70s throughout the whole grow, but anywhere from 65F-80F is acceptable.
Fruiting at cooler temps tends to produce denser, meatier fruits, while fruiting at higher temps will often produce hollow, less dense stems.
