gotta give credit where credit is due... but one thing was a bit off on the assumption of proportions... you need to use millimoles to compare such a thing (millimole is simply 1/1000th of a mole... a 'micromole' is 1/1,000,000th... the value of a "mole" is not simply a random number picked out of a hat... it allows you to understand chemical reactions in a molecule per molecule resolution). NPK values or ppm (~mass) will not paint the picture properly to draw this conclusion, therefore the likely root of confusion. Here is the millimole breakdown of a 677ppm mix from a weighted average of "15-12-26" npk+macros/trace mix. i acutally use a bit higher ppm than this, but same ratios, more or less. It may not be the same as others, but it'll be close enough. My plants remain healthy and show few symptoms if any at all deep into bloom phase.... at the very least it's a decent mix. millimole = 6.022 * 10^20 (forgive me if it is "6.023," i can't recall which is the more recent corrected value.. it is a big deal, that 2 or 3 is followed by a shitload of zeroes) 9.62 millimoles of N 1.47 millimoles of P <--- primary nute, but least used of the bunch if counting molecules. 4.81 millimoles of K 2.7 millimoles of Ca 3.43 millimoles of Mg 3.48 millimoles of S You can ssee that ca/mg/s are not too far off as far as how much is needed. This is the how these molecules will be used incrementally in a chemical reaction... not by mass, ppm or NPK values on some AG products... though you can convert that stuff to a more useable and intuitive metric, a mole. Trace elements are roughly 1/1000th of promary/secondary nutes... give or take a digit.

Do seedlings need calcium? Calcium is one of the secondary macronutrients in soil. While not required in the quantities of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, calcium is crucial for plant growth and makes plants less susceptible to diseases and pests.

Do seedlings need magnesium? Magnesium is the powerhouse behind photosynthesis in plants. Without magnesium, chlorophyll cannot capture sun energy needed for photosynthesis. In short, magnesium is required to give leaves their green color.

Don't ever listen to GrowingGrannie that account is a fraud. Plays some frail old 75 year old woman who tries and scam seeds in a contest. Look at the diaries you can see the hands of this person and is a dude. GrowingGrannie 97% of the time gives horrible advice. Cheers!

Your plant doesn't need calmag, it needs some good old NPK (particularly nitrogen!)... Calmag is used during flowering (if needed) to supply an extra boost of calcium and magnesium which is important to that stage of the plant's life. Start these ladies on some grow nutes and you'll see much improvemen! Good luck...
