cal-mg appreciation

[ShOrTbUs]

is it me, or does it seem like the answer to alot of the problems people have with deficiencies, is cal-mg. are there any drawbacks to using cal/mg? hydro or otherwise? if it was more recognized as "mj growing basics". i think there would be much more successful newcomers, first-timers.

My first few grows which were all saliva didn't need cal mag. The AI I am growing eats it up and suffers if it doesn't get it every feeding. Feels like it is strain specific as to whether additional calcium/magnesium is needed.

Too much calcium can lock out other nutrients. Hasn't happened with the cal mag for me yet though.

Certain strains seem to really need it, others not so much. I think using it in moderation with all strains wldn't hurt so long as you don't go overboard. jmo

I would agree with Hammey. I use it with my plants at every feeding except the last few weeks of flowering. Ofcourse I am in coco/hydro which requires it to be given considerably more.
