I know what your sayin there mate problems just creep up fast as fuck and if you don't spot it early things can just go from bad to worse but I'm sure the magne cal will sort it out ;-)
Yeah man, ill flush my bigun with 40l of water with calmag,biogrow,rhiz on wedensday since it hasn't been flushed for ages now, must have some salt buildup or summit.

Sounds good to me but if you have to ph down use lemon juice when ya flush I've been told that ph down acid can leave a lot of salts behind in the medium and if ur flushing you don't wanna put it all back in again

Alright lads don't quote me on this but I think the reason they don't put to much cal mag in the base nutes is because to much cal can bind up other nutes.
On the canna nutes thing in coco all you really need is cal/mag to go with ya A n B, the A n B is a complete feed so you could easily get away with with spending just £20 all the other additives are down to preference and defo not essential, I'm 5wks into flower and have got away with using just the above nutes.
IMO the vast majority of the stuff people will tell you that you have to have is down to marketing and forum bullshit, many people get great yields using nothing more than a solid base nute.

I got proper phosphoric acid 1 tiny tiny drop turns 2l milk carton of water from 7.5ph to 6.5 ph, i found that lemon juice doesn't work that well after a day the ph goes back up to what ever it was before adding lemon juice. i have used it before and added 2 bigger drops an it took me ph down to 4 lmao.

If your in soil mate and feeding with bio-bizz I would be careful flushing with all that, A low feed with a little cal-mag would probably be more than enough, if it were me and I was worried about build up I'd just water with plain ph'd water.

i would flush with plain water but i got all these deficiencies showin up i just hope my plant aint rusted by wedensday. might flush 20l of plain water then another 20l with some nutes to keep it on track an not waste 20l worth of nutes.

I know what you mean about the additives mate loads of the lads on here do use them but I don't understand it unless they're deficient in the additive needed and it's just been copied over from agricultural practices that don't apply to us, with the flush mate I was only saying to be careful because if something is out of whack throwing a load of nutes at it may cause it to get worse rather than better, in soil with bio-bizz a low feed should sort it out if plain water doesn't, you can't remover a build up by adding more to it if that makes sense mate.
