[fweedom]

I heard since i use distilled water i need to add cal-mag with every other watering or every couple of waterings...can somebody please explain why again cause i honestly cant remember

and will i have any issues mixing this botanicare cal-mag with fox farm nutes and using fox farm soil? if not how much should i apply per gallon?

heres a a pic with the description i havent bought it yet though going to the hydro store tomorrow..:smokebuds:

This is the second most important ingredient in your reservoir (nutrients being first). Don't let your garden drag because you are low on Calcium/Magnesium...it's the most common deficiency!!!

i am currently supplementing my distilled waterings with cal mag once every 3 days. (5ml per gallon) I am currently 1 month into the grow. I am going to bump it up here soon since it is beginning to run out of soil nutrients.

Distilled water has no calmag in it and may cause a calmag def if you don't add some in. I'm using the ffnutes,ffof soil and calmag plus in my current grow. I water twice a week and once a week I add calmag at the rate of 1 teaspoon per 1 gallon water. I'm using regular bottled springwater and still find I have to add calmag to it or risk a def.
