well I'm no expert but I just went through the cal mag thing while using FoxFarm products in a dwc set up, my tap water ppm'd @ .08 and I was getting reddish spots that looked just like rust I was in 3-4 weeks of veg and this shit was poppin up all over,,,I added 1ml per gallon, this stuff ppm's pretty high so watch your ppm's when adding ,I put in the 1ml per Gal then topped off w/nutes for my total ppm,,,,and that was it no more rust ,,you cant change or heal whats already been done but new growth should be fine,,,,,good luck.
