Follow the instructions on the bottle! Cal/mag is really only needed in extra amounts during flowering. Obviously GHE have formulated their "grow" fertilizer with adequate cal/mag, hence why they say not to add any extra. Too much calcium can make your ph really fluctuate. Hope this helps....

At some point you will need to add a little, but go easy when you do. 100 to 150 ppm 0.2 to 0.3 ec and only add when you see them starting to need a little. The ppm of cal/mg you add gets taken away from your other nutes so it keeps your ec feed level the same. Cheers
