any npk label near 1:1:1 ratio.. the only difference will be how much you need to dilute it.

We have decalcification machine. Should I add Calmag right from the start? How much? (Autoflower in mostly Biobizz Allmix)We have a decalcification machine (natrium based), so I have low magnesium/calcium. People say my soil is low in cal/mag. Should I add Biobizz Calmag on my first watering?(50% of recommendation for autos?) This one looks already droopy, doesn't it? Think I need to water soon.Feeding. Other
