Hey pepe, do you use that much all the way through? Plus do you grow in coco or use LEDs? My cal/mag has nitro in it so I try not go too heavy.

id do at least the 1st feed of calmag at 2ml/l and then maybe try to dial it back? calmag def. is definetly something you dont want to have going on in your grow! can really muck up things

Heard those LEDs cause cal deficiencies is that true?

yes calmag deficiencies are very common with COBS and LED's

to be honest i dont know i just know its a fact due to my own experiances. i have 10 or 11 plants in my ten under cobs and leds and 3-4 of them are/had calmag problems so far. my tap watter may as well be RO coming out of the tap at pH of 6.7 and 10-20PPM which doesnt help my calmag problems

Well the good news is that my General Organics CaMG+ arrived today. The bad news is that they have changed the formulation, and what I got was NOT what was shown or advertised on Amazon or on the US company's General Hydroponics website The product now has 1% nitrogen. Still, this is better than the 4% in the Advanced Nutrients product, so I'll go with it. FYI @hippy71

i run that in my 1st organic run and it smells like vinegar and drops your feed pH, watch your pH brotha

Ok, so armed with my new CalMag solution, and facing 4 dry pots, I attacked vigorously with feed and foliar spray. The foliar spray was RO water with just 1 ml/l of the CaMg+. The feed brew was 12 liters RO mixed with 1.75 ml/l of CaMg+ and 1.5 ml/l of Sensi Coco A&B. The ladies were hungry, I got no run-off from the 12 liters, but the pots are nice and heavy. I finished things off with a bit of LST work on everyone -- just to teach them a lesson.
