Im reading that if you use RO or distilled water then cal/mag is a must every watering. How much does everyone use though i wonder?

Thanks. I should mention that i grow in soilless pro mix bx. So youre saying that if i want my soil at 6.4 and i water at 6.4 but the runoff comes out at 5.8 then i should water using 7.0 the next time? Or immediately?

Is it as simple as that? As long as i keep everything the goes in properly ph'd ill be ok?

Believe i have a cal def and i have some hydrated lime laying around. Ordered Bot cal/mag plus but thought id have a plan B in place if my leafs get worse before cal/mag arrives. Thought i would foliar feed because my soilless mix is drenched from the flush yesterday. Anyone know how much...

I just flushed yesterday so should i wait for the soil to dry out ( 1 week) or go ahead and add nutes to the soil today or maybe foliar feed today?

I flushed because of Mag def now im wondering if i need to feed, possibly through the foliage? Plant 4 weeks old. I flushed yesterday and they seem to be doing ok but im sure the flush depleted all of their food. I hate to water because the medium is so damp although the pro mix bx im using...

I just flushed today for what i believe was mag def myself. I didnt use as much epsom as you so i hope it still fixes it. To be safe i think 1/2 tsp of epsom will be apart of every watering for now on. Anyone know whats so special about the botancaire cal/mag?

Cool man, i bet youre feelin good right now. Im looking at the Kushberry myself. Heard really good things. Attitude sells fem singles but wait until they announce their new xmas freebies before you order. Theyre touting it as their biggest give-away ever i hear. Keep checking under...

So how much cal/mag per gallon every watering with distilled water? Are nay brands better then others. They have it at lowes or walmart?

If you were me what would you do? Exactly.

The freaking unsulphured molasses i use has cal and mag in it as well. I got this off wiki. Theyre talking about human consumption but none the less. "However, unlike refined sugars, it contains significant amounts of vitamins and minerals. Blackstrap molasses is a source of calcium...

Isnt that what hard water is- too much mag and cal? So im told that my tap that ive been using is hard. Could that be why the spots are forming? Because along with the lime already in the soil, the mag in the nutes and the high ppm im my tap my girls are exposed to too much mag and cal? Im...

I just assumed my issues from last grow were attributed to my ph being off because i didnt have a meter. I never really resolved the issue. The whole grow was a mess. I have always used tap and according to the water quality report from my area our shit is very hard. Up to 400 ppm. So now...

Thank you. What did you do to fix the mag deficiency? Can someone get away with adding epsom salt in place of the expensive cal/mag supplements?

Calcium is in my soil already like i previously stated. So I dont think i need cal mag. And my water contains chloramine. Weather that is my issue right now or not is debatable, but either way, that shit is not good for plants. Your turn, go.

Youre probably right man since bad water issues would probably take longer to present themselves. My plants are only about a month old and the spots formed just a couple days after my first fox farm grow big feeding. I only gave 1/2 tsp though which is why im puzzled. I poured 3/4 gallon into...

I did alot of research on this issue last night and most are in agreement that chloramine is virtually impossible to totally eliminate if it is present in your tap and that over time if used in potted plants it can and will give you problems. Chlorine on the other hand will evaporate if left...

I was thinking the same thing until i rechecked all the ingredients in my soil and nutes and found out the the pro mix bx has dolimite lime in it which in itself is composed of calcium and magnesium. Fox Farm grow big also has both. I think i can avoid the cal mag supplements when i switch to...

So i went to my local water companys website and read the annual water quality report. And it looks like i was right about my water being unusable. It first says that they use chloramine instead of chlorine. Then it says "hardness levels within our distribution range from 120(hard) ppm to...
