You need a fast acting home remedy for calcium, and that might be the rub. The ones I know of are not fast. The advantage of buying some liquid cal/mag supplement is that it works fast. If someone has a fast acting home remedy, I will also be interested in learning this.

For what I know, you filter the water to remove the chlorine which is bad if you go full organic (if you are using chem/mineral fert maybe you can avoid that).
But you also remove all the other stuff, so you must supplement cal/mag to your filtered water.

Powdered Milk......not a joke....it will work.....but not for the long term.

Egg shells,,,,you need it fast, so how about shells from 3 eggs. Put them in a blender with the water (or some of) your going to use and blend on the highest setting for a cpl of min. Let stand over night and water with it. If you have to pH down....add the normal amount of the "down" acid to the water first and then blend.....

Save your egg shells and crush them up and let them stand In the water for as long as you can.....Top dress the soil with the soaked shells and use the water for feed....

Good luck

Thanks for the replies. If I can't find it at Home Depot or lowes imma just order the shit offline. It breaks my heart seeing my ladies like this. They went from beautiful to hideous. Still smells good tho. I don't know where else to get the stuff other than the net tho.

feel ur pain... apparently one of the drawbacks to AN Conn. flower nutes is that it falls short on calmag.... right about week 5-6, lol.

Local shop has it.... in gallon jugs only.

Ordered online today.

You say its almost finished?Are you sure it isn't just the normal die off of the satelite leaves that happens at the end of a plants life cycle.
