mcflowanswered grow question a year ago Cal-mag (calcium and magnesium supplement) and cal-carb (calcium carbonate) are different products with distinct purposes. Cal-mag is typically a liquid supplement providing calcium and magnesium, while cal-carb is often used to adjust pH in soil and provide calcium.
In your case, using Botanicare cal-mag and silica blast with Xtreme gardening products (Azos, Mykos, and Mykos WP) should generally be fine. Coco coir can benefit from supplemental calcium and magnesium, and silica can contribute to plant health and resilience.
Here's a general guide:
Cal-mag:
Provides essential calcium and magnesium. Follow the recommended dosage on the product label, and monitor your plants for any signs of nutrient excess.
Silica Blast:
Enhances plant structure and resistance to stress. It's often used throughout the plant's life cycle. Follow the recommended application rates.
Xtreme Gardening Products:
Azos and Mykos are beneficial microbial inoculants that promote root health. Mykos WP is a wettable powder formulation. Use them according to the instructions on the product labels.
Before combining products, it's a good practice to check the compatibility of different nutrients and supplements. In most cases, products from reputable brands are designed to work well together.
Start with lower doses initially, observe how your plants respond, and make adjustments as needed. Keeping a close eye on your plants and monitoring their overall health will guide you in fine-tuning your nutrient regimen.
