Any recommendations for additional nutrients? Never used a Cal-Mag supplement or anything like that, but also haven't had any issues yet.

Hello @Woodhercule! From nutrition perspective you are fine. You have your organic grow and bloom and a synthetic powerful pk booster ( that i think it's not necessary ). Your plants can grow just fine with only these products but if you want to be complete from building an ecosystem perspective you can add some other things. Aerated compost tea: it's full with beneficial microbes, carbohydrates from molasses which are energy source for the microbes, humic acids and micro nutrients from the compost. Enzymes: They brake organic matter like dead roots inside your substrate and give nutrients back. A decent product is cannazyme or you can make your own organic version from sprouts. Amino acids : When broken down by enzymes they release very little nitrogen and various organic molecules like hormones. A descent product is nirvana. All the above will not burn your plant as they don't have N-P-K value .As for the cal-mag you don't need it for now. Happy growing!

If you have no issues then don't change anything to you feed chart ! It is easier to fix a deficience than a excess so I'll recommend you to not use Cal mag right now and wait to see if your plant is ineed of anything ! Have a good grow bro 👊👍😘

Hi @Woodhercule! If your plant does not ask for it, there's no immediate need to give her extra nutrients. Your plant looks healthy, and you may have negative effects by adding too many nutrients. Keep us up-to-date and happy growing! 👊

Your plant looks great! I wouldn’t change things at this point. Why fix what’s not broken? Happy growing! 👍

In soil don't feed more than once a week. If you don't have a cal or mag issue, don't use a cal mag suplement. Unless you have a very soft tap water, soil growing should not require aditional cal/mag. To be sure check your water EC/PPM, most likely it has over abundance of it

Hi Woodhercules. I agree with the answers below. Your plants look nice and healthy. CalMag is good to have come signs of a deficiency. If you're growing organically you can add some unsulphured black strap molasses. The molasses is the perfect food the for microbe life in the soil, the microbes in the soil are what break down organic nutrients which makes it available for your plant to uptake. A healthy thriving soil will produce the best plants. 1 tablespoon per gallon is the recommended dosage. Good luck with your grow!

i think cal mag is always good to have on hand if a deficiency rears its ugly head, but i think the ol " if it aint broke, dont fix it " analogy works here.

Hey dude! Congrats on the grow! It's looking strong. If you have not had any issues as of yet, I'd be hesitant to add anything additional at this point. An underlying question would be; are you happy with the results so far? If so, I wouldn't amend anything, just yet. It's about knowing your grow and experimenting! I grow in coco-coir so Cal-Mag is pretty critical for me, but not so much for everyone. I hope that answers your questions, but if not holler and lets work together!
