They don't cost a great deal, it's all powdered. I simply don't like needless waste. For example, only 6 month ago I was using the base at 1gp/l and all was ok. I dropped it to 0.5 gpl after reading a lot and understanding elemental ppm over tds. The plants (same strain) didn't change in end yield/quality at all and half the nutrient base is now saved. CalN was also dropped with no ill effect.If your nutrients cost that much switch. If you have like 30 plants growing you might almost save a dollar if you cut out Cal nitrate for a week or 2. Best thing to do is try it let us know how it goes. Best case scenario you save a dollar or 2 worst case your plants start to die and you lose out on some yield. Oh and flushing isnt really necessary
This is a help forum so it makes logical sense to ask for knowledge here so that I don't have to try it blindly. So far posters here have been against removing calcium entirely in the last few weeks, while I have some info to suggest 40ppm C as a very vague minimum. So at current, that's the conclusion. I was hoping you would chime in @Dr. Who.
