Hi Most Knowledge-able Kings of Coco!
I've run into the good old lack of Calcium problem. I am one hundred percent certain, it's still in early stages but very clear on the older plants. The combination of symptoms across them point to clear Ca def, and the iron has started locking up too because of it.
I've been mixing my nutes using rain water and relatively low EC's, I've mostly got some Bubbas and they're never all that hungry in my experience. So I know where I screwed up.
Now my question is, are small amounts of CaCl safe to use instead of Cal/Mag? I'd prefer not to mess about with the extra nitrogen etc and just hit the problem right in the face with what it REALLY needs. Plus, I scored a free sample of CaCl from my kit gear supplier so I have it right here, but living in an outlying region Cal/<ag is 3 days away at the quickest.
Thank you kindly for your time, oh Gods Of Greenery!
