Salt nutrients

Hi folks! I can get my hands on Yara Calcinit 15.5-0-0 and a base salt with 6-18-36+3MgO. Does the MgO make the epsom salt redundant? And what are the NPK ratio's I'm aiming for during veg and flower? I have seen and read so many numbers, not sure what to believe anymore. Thanks!

20-10-20 based on research of hemp plants. N ~120-13ppm, the rest accordingly MgO isn't MgSO4 (epsom salt), so you'd want to caclulate the ppms of S you provide. If it's ~100ppm or higher, you probably dont have to add sulfur. These are ballpark values. your local water may have a say in the matter too. that's simple a 1:3:6 ratio... more concentrted, simply mix with less of it. add in the 15.5-0-0 proportionately to use for 6:3:6. Seems really high p/k values on that base part. I have some good ballpark PPMs calculated in just about any week of any diary... slightly diluted jacks, that's all.

Hi! I don't know where you are located but if you can't find yara's products you can check Jacks hydro nutrients, they are pure salts too so basically same stuff. Here where i live i can easily buy Yara from agrimarkets or order online, but they come in 25kg bags so they will last a lifetime lol. Yara has Epsom salt also in their lineup so it would be better to give that sulfur too and not go with MgO only
