Calmag

Padrino
Padrinostarted grow question a year ago
Ok so how do I fix a cal mag problem. If it’s just mag what is my fix. If it’s just calcium what is my fix. Gave 5ml per gal last feed. And been lightly spraying a cal mag foliage spray. Do I just wait it out to see if they stable out and slowly increase nutes as I go?

easy way -- use calcium nutriate as your primary source for nitrogen. build around it... never hve ca issues using that... also, magnesium-sulfate will provide Mg. (epsom salt) if you run into these issues, it means your fertilizer mix is lacking and it'll only continue to happen.. if oyu have a component of mix that has most or all of your Ca, you can try increasing that product's concentration in your mix. same with Mg obviously. if you cannot devise a formula that doesn't cause other issues, then you need some sort of supplement each time you mix it up or go with a different brand / set of ingredients that allows you to properly feed them. you'd also have to make sure Mg/Ca are one of the things that can actually be foliar fed -- not all molecules will make it through the stomata and i don't keep a memorized list in my head because i don't foliar feed. i use the roots, because that's what they are made for,lol. Foliar sprays are great to get what is missing to the local area faster in some situations (namely which molecules can traverse the stomata)... but it shouldn't be used as your primary source for ca/mg. Gettng leaves wet everyday is only going to invite problems. a risk you can easily avoid by simply feeding a well-balanced diet. it's s tool.. for specific use.. some just have to do more to feel they are doing something, i believe. keep it simple... plus, you can't leave.. you are shackeld to that plant spraying evey day or it'll have issues.

Cal mag can be given once a week. I give it right along with my nutrients. You don't necessarily increase the cal mag dosage if that's what you're asking but the plants feed , yes. Unless you don't see any improvement and it's not because of uptake issues (ph). It does take about 5-7days to see improvement. Sometimes old damage won't always heal either so keep that in mind also. As far as foliar sprays...they're pretty much bull shit and a waste of time imo. Hope this helps.

If it’s just Mg you can use Epsom salt. It will also give a boost of Sulfur, which is hard to overfeed with. If it’s just Ca use CalMag. Or use it in both cases :) There is no evidence of Ca toxicity yet, just some reports. Don’t be afraid to use CalMag when you suspect Ca or Mg deficiency. Both types of deficiency often go together. Ca deficiency is simply not visible for the first three weeks when the problem begins.

la tua mancanza di calcio è comunque minima quindi o lo spruzzi sulle foglie o via terra il mio consiglio è darlo via terra irrigando normalmente perche stai gia fertilizzando via radici e la fertilizzazione fogliare insieme a quella radicale alla lunga puo' portare scompensi e problemi per il resto le piante sembrano un po' scariche il verde è leggero..ho visto che usi advanced nutrients ma ne dai veramente poco io a questo punto della crescita ne darei almeno 4 ml /l = 15ml/gal x il cal mag basta aggiungere 1ml/l 3,7/gal al massimo 2 ml/l 7,5ml/gal circa
