Calmag and ppm in coco

That's funny that you mention him. Let me actually start out by saying that I am in absolutely no means a know it all or have no room to grow or learn. I also, very much, respect everyone opinions. I at least try pretty hard too. But I have heard an interview with him where he gave some "interesting" advice and/or insight into lighting. I'm a lighting nerd. I hate to ever say someone was wrong, but it was pretty not right. That said, every one and I do mean every single person can, does and in my book is allowed to make mistakes, or speak incorrectly. I will never crusify someone for that as I hate that treatment for myself. But that leads me full circle to where I was when I first spoke up a bit ago here. The internet is full of the only way to do things. The only right way to do things and very toxic "correct always" people. I am in no way saying that he is this type of person. I have read and heard way more from him that I believe to be right on. I personally feel from years and years of outdoor photo growing, that environmental factors are so important and are the variable that makes sharing horticulture ideas so difficult. Now, if we were all sold the "lad in a box" we may be able to repeat what is out there on a more regular basis.... Shit, wake and bake got me rambling. Anyway, my two cents. Just thought it was funny as his name just came up over here on a similar situation. I will say really quickly before I bounce, that this community here has been great. I feel a genuine sense of giving a shit or something. Not a toxic place that I've seen yet. So thank you to this community for keeping it a place where people can actually ask questions and have actual discussions without fear of being ridiculed for not being born with the complete horticulture knowledge of the planet embedded into my brain. Hahaha.
When @Proph mentioned looking into what was in my nutrients, I had a bit of an epiphany. The DR sells General Hydroponics and talks a lot about it. Maybe this whole "extra" calmag thing is based on what is contained in the General Hydroponics line. If so, as someone who is holding himself out as an expert, he really should say that and tell people that their results may be different if they use something else. There's a slew of Youtube experts out there that practically quote this guy verbatim and are leading a whole lot of newcomers astray. Obviously I drank the cool-aid or this discussion never would've happened.
 
I think there is some logic to what the guy says and I think a lot of it has to do with your growing environment and what nutrient that you use. I am adding cal mag currently with mega crop and I am having the best grow I have ever had so far and from what I can tell I am not seeing any signs of lockout or deficiencies at the moment. My plants are all between 25-30 days old.
