After finding out that I need CalMag because I now use RO water I was shocked by the cost of commercially available products, did a very small amount of research and discovered that it is very inexpensive to just make my own.
I also discovered that commercially available products all contain nitrogen, which is great... most of the time... for most plants. But cannabis isn't most plants and nitrogen, though extremely beneficial during the vegetative stages, isn't as desirable during flowering.
Making my own supplement gives me freedom to change the recipe to better suit my specific needs. So I ask;
Would calcium chloride be a better choice than calcium nitrate to use with magnesium sulfate and iron EDTA for hydroponic growers using RO water in the latter weeks (or all of) flowering?
Are there any dilution restrictions or problems with CaCl2 as there are with CaNO3 (like precipitation)?
