Hello Zaaboot i stoped using cal/mag about 5 grows back unless i get deff which i havent yet i use Green planet nutes and grow in Canna coco which has been buffered. I havent used cal/mag in flower with no problem i think it comes down to what nutes you useHey @hope2grow - indeedy they are flying, it's the best time to sit and watch them grow.
I am just trying something out with the calmag, as in theory they dont need as much if any when flowering and with calmag being EC expensive I am seeing how much I can take out giving space to up core nutrients which are really what it should be eating. Let's see - so it is still a test and I am not sure either way, it is the second run now and no issues on this or last run
Calmag does raise the EC quite a bit and there usually isn’t enough room for any other flowering goodies. I tend to cut my calmag out around the second week of flower and substitute the PPM with a PK booster and some carbohydrates. If I do notice any calmag deficiencies later in flowering I’ll alternate the PK booster and Calmag to keep my EC in range or hand water with about 500 PPM of strait calmag to the plants that really need it.Hey @hope2grow - indeedy they are flying, it's the best time to sit and watch them grow.

Nice one @Dell boy good to know I am not going nuts testing something that makes no sense. It is just when reading about plants requiremetns at stages there is no requirement for it, also how much influence do LED lights have on the requirement Vs sunlight...When we all used HPS of MH it was not a thing.Hello Zaaboot i stoped using cal/mag about 5 grows back unless i get deff which i havent yet i use Green planet nutes and grow in Canna coco which has been buffered.

perfect - pleased it makes sense, what you describe is roughly how I played it on the last run, now I am a few weeks in I have stopped it completely, so only the residual in the res which will amount to very little if anything by now.
