Will cal-mag plus hurt my organic grow?

Will using Botanicares Cal-mag plus hurt my organic soil grow? I have a magnisium def. I'm not sure on this one, if somebody would help me ou that would be great.

To answer your question no. but i personally recommend to flush with water and start over because you may over correct and cause another deficiency... but just my 2 cents.. good luck

What some people think are " problems " usually are not, but no pics to help I see friend.

If she is definately lacking in Magnesium, good ole Epson Salt will take care of her.

About one too two tspoons, in a gallon of water will be sufficient and not as likely to build up salts that cause lockout in nutrients.

You can also foliar feed the above.....

they have organic cal/mag

i'm with the epsom salt, it doesnt cost 20 bucks and my tap water has mg in it...lol

Check your pH before ANYTHING.

Many of the metal micronutrients become "locked out" when the pH becomes to high and become unavailable for plants. I have found that pH tends to increase with my organic garden with time (up to 8 ).

Also, make sure your Ca:Mg ratio is correct (5:1). Too much Ca will also "lock up" your uptake of magnesium. This is highly unlikely though (and hard to do) especially if you have a pre-blended soil.

I 2nd or 3rd the epsom salt statement. 1tsppon per gal into a spray bottle and spray at lights off every other day for a week, should clear right up.

Are you running Botanicare's full line of nutrients? I would run into problems with plants that were aggressive feeders because the N count was to low which caused a magnesium like looking dif. I changed base nute to Ionic and kept the calmag and hydroplex and the strain I was having problems with did a 360. Most of the Botanicare guys I talk to started adding 10% veg nutes to the equation so as not to break ranks with their nutrient line.

I use botanicare cal-mag+ with my organic BMO nutrients and organic BioBizz Light Mix/Fox Farms Light Warrior/Castings/High-N Guano soil and it works great. Doesn't interfere or compromise the organicness of my buds...they're freaking awesome...

I went with epsom salt. I put down what worm castings I had left which wasn't much, I need to get some more. I'll put some pics up later cause I'm probably way off on the diagnosis anyway.

Got some pics.
Grow info: Ocean Forest soil, (Nirvana's autoflower) plants Short Rider, maxi-crop since seedling, r/o watered pH water around 7 when watering. Could it be nitrogen or phosphorus cause I havn't given them any nutes till four days ago, I gave them EJ Bloom Grow and meta-k all at half strength and epsom salt. They are about five weks from seed. What do you think

i would say that kind of high for your soulution .try checking the runoff of your solution probably around 7.0-7.3 i bet, i would check the run off and if you feed with a ph of 7 and it comes out at 7 i would re-adjust the ph of your solution to 6.3-6.5 now,that being said if you if you put in at 7 and it comes out 7.5 adjust your solution at around 6.0 and the runoff should be ok from there try that first make sure your ph is correct before you add anything other then water if your ph is ok then i would flush im not sure how long you grown them in those pots for or what kind of nutes you use but,those are basic step you have to take to get things back in order oh!check your ppms

im having similiar problems, im using roots organic. my ph run off is always 6.0. im stuck cause its slowely moving up the bottom leaves and bottom leaves of the shoots so it something i feed with botanic line and i deff think it has something to do with an n deff as well

i always had problems with doing the liquid nutes, 3 monthes ago my brother and I both switched to Subs Supersoil... we just add water from clone to harvest, and my buds are amazing!! they're 100% organic, taste incredible(especially the Chocolope and G-13 Haze), my yields went up, noticable increase in resin production.. needless to say i wont grow any other way anymore. since its completely organic i dont have to worry about the PH, an organic grow the ph is gonna fluctuate up and down(natural order of things)

but im with veeznuts on the flushing first, then if you want to stick with liquid nutes look into Advanced Nutrients "Revive" i had a lockout problem due to hardwater and it worked wonders in less than a week, its made to heal plants with deficiencies, and they gaurentee it 100% money back, i dont think it organic thou
hope everything turns out brother
