    LED grown plants on average require much more magnesium than sun or HID grown plants. IMO this is why you hear so much more about cal-mag products than you did 5-10+ years ago.

    Running coco drip with RO water, I used to measure my cal mag but lately have just been adding a random glug from the bottle when I mix nutes in my 20 gallon bucket. Never had a hint of a cal mag problem, but maybe that's because my nutes (CNS 17) also have cal mag. My point, don't worry about it too much, but make sure there is at least some cal mag available at all times and you're good to go.
    BTW, I also stopped using PH up with amazing results, I just start at 6.2 and let the PH fall until I mix up the next batch of nutes, sometimes it falls to ~5.0 which the data says is way too acidic, but it works and the plants love it.

    Calcium is used in conjunction with Nitrogen in Veg. After Veg Calcium isn’t used nearly as much by the plant. Magnesium is essentially a site multiplier for whatever stage of growth the plant is in, in veg it helps more leaves grow, in early flower it produces more bud nodes, as flowering continues helps produce more calyxes and more hairs per calyx and more resin glands as well. Magnesium to me is just as essential as NPK and actually more essential than N through the whole grow because Nitrogen is only required for the first half. Problem is that Companies always attach calcium to magnesium for some reason and what happens as flowering proceeds the plant needs more Magnesium but isn’t using the Calcium and the calcium builds up and becomes hard to break down and starts causing lockouts the more you use Cal-Mag to fix Mag deficiency in later flowering. You want a product that has calcium attached to nitrogen so when your done vegging your not adding not necessary nutrients. Similarly look for Magnesium attached to Phosphorus or Potassium for flowering to reduce calcium build up.

      @@timpage5021 it absolutely isn’t. It’s way more heavy in Veg because it’s attached to the nitrogen use. Once you stop using nitrogen you don’t need nearly as much calcium. Some people use N through the whole grow, some people stop after the plant is done stretching and new leaf growth stops. Nitrogen isn’t necessary in late flower at all in my style of growing so that means I also need to drastically reduce calcium use or else it will build up. It’s an absolute fact the style I grow. If you grow like I do the cal-mag combo becomes a problem because I stop nitrogen use which lowers calcium intake requirements. Calcium is essential for the plant to process nitrogen, those 2 go hand in hand. If your using as much calcium in flower as you do in veg then your building up calcium because the plants uses it in like a 3/1 or 4/1 ratio with nitrogen if remember correctly.

    Take this from someone who has been involved in drug development for ion channel modulators: To make things a little clearer. The big problem with both is not that they are competing for the same negatively charged ions in the soil when it comes to absorption, because the neutral salt itself cannot be taken up. The problem is that most ion channels (which facilitate the uptake of these ions) are often not perfectly selective, since the selectivity filter and activation gate often allow multiple ions to pass through the same pore. The problem is that only both ions compete for the same channel. In return, the uptake is limited. It's exactly the same mechanism for many channels in all living organisms. This is the same problem you would have as a human if you took magnesium and calcium supplements at the same time.

    Calcium unlocks carbon in soil. A soil grower I was watching on a podcast recently pointed out that Calcium is basically a macronutrient for Cannabis. Now notice how I’m talking about Calcium, not CalMag. Magnesium is rarely deficient in soil with Cannabis growing in it. Calcium is often deficient. So when you’re adding CalMag you’re literally stuck with Mag AND Nitrogen if it’s Nitrate based. That, in my opinion, is what causes lockout. The amount of Calcium in CalMag is super unlikely to lockout unless you’re adding more than you should. And most of the issues will come from the N and Mg, not Ca. The biggest issue with Calcium feeding is that Calcium in organic setups isn’t easy to chelate. Gypsum is highly locked up as Calcium Sulphate. It takes a long time to fully break down and very little is released day to day.
    What I’ve been doing to fix these two issues is using Calcium Silicate and Magnesium Sulfate separately or at a 2:1 ratio. The other thing I do is pH down with Citric Acid or White Vinegar. Both create chelates of Cal and Mag. Calcium Citrate and Magnesium Citrate are easily absorbed by plants as well as the even more powerful chelate Calcium acetate and Magnesium acetate. This is what you want, calcium ions that are ready to be stripped from their bonds.

I’ve been feeding it weekly small amount but measured properly following label instructions. Now that you’ve described what the deficiency looks like I am not experiencing those so should I stop using it? I had a bumper harvest last year, which was my first year, using any nutrients additionally was made at largest harvest to date. My plants this year. Are coming in beautifully and don’t seem to be suffering. Any negative issues at the moment. So you have my question I guess is. Keep doing what I’m doing as it seems to be working or cut out the cal med and only use it if I see a deficiency popping up?

    Hi all! SInce 1st of april, it is allowed to grow 3 plants in Germany, so I started a grow. Now, a question popped up:
    As I use rainwater to water my flowers, I wonder how much CalMag I need to use in my water. I guess, there is absolutely none in rainwater, so what would be the right amount?
    Is the amount given on the bottle calculated with tap water? And is there a time in flower, when I should stop giving calmag?
    Although I know, that my first grows will be far from perfect, I want to minimize mistakes and get the best result with small effort.
    One plant shows signs of Calcium deficiency as far as I could find out. This brought me to dig deeper into that topic.
    Thanks for help and keep on releasing that great and helpful content.
    Edit: btw, the plant showing these signs is an autoflowering one and now in week 2 of bloom as far as I can tell

      Little advice, see how high in your tent you can set your lights and measure about 18” below that as your max height for your plants. Then you’ll have a good idea on when you’ll need to flip to flower and stretch. Plants will generally stretch about double size but it is genetic dependent. If they get too big, just keep bending them down.

    I've only ever seen one true deficiency - where you really need to add element missing - and that's nitrogen. Everything else 90% of the time is due to poor environment conditions, water regime, too much of certain element, that's blocking something else.
    Calcium bonds easily to just about anything, Phosphorus, Sulphur, locks out magnesium as well.
    And I've seen this way too often: since it's passive, and can only be uptaken through transportation/ moving water from the root zone, high humidity leads to calcium deficiency as well.
    And that's when the grower, not realising the underlying issue, starts adding Cal-Mag, and that's also when the true nightmare starts cause pretty soon everything else goes to sht

Better understanding the nutrients on a molecular level and what they do and how they do it make it much easier to play around and have fun with them.

      not necessarily, if you have a good buffered media and are using a a quality nutrient line you should not need it.

      My current grow (autos) looked great until the first week of flower and got hit hard by cal deficiency. I realized quickly a "water only" grow wasn't an option

      It doesn't necessarily mean a deficiency. It could be as the first reply mentioned a PH issue. So second the first reply.

    I have always used calmag with synthetics in coco. First time I didn't when changing to Floramax nutes, manufacturer insisted it wasn't necessary . Now half my plants have magnesium deficiency .All fed exactly the same EC from same rez. So you can't win

      100ppm / EC 0.2 was sufficient . never saw deficiency at that amount. total EC was about 1.2-1.5
      that was running GH Flora series in rain or ro water

    It's all about your water calcium and magnesium are what makes water hard if you already have hard water you do not need it unless you're using coco then it's different because the coco buffers the cal mag even with hard water so you add it

  • @anonymousfx5254
    @anonymousfx5254 4 місяці тому

    I'd rather add calmag, than stuck with massive deficiency in mid flowering(cause that's exactly when signs will appear) where all the leaves and just getting dry and buds aren't growing much. Miss out callmag and your grow season goes to waste. Easily -70% of potential results.

    I just watched a podcadt that said althought cal is a micro nutrient that the plsnt actully eats more cal than nitrogen at about 2 cal to 1 nitrogen so saying calcium is not needed is seeming off based on whats ive seen and what ive learned hands on, cal is very important and needs to b front loaded cause as u mentioned its bot moblie so once ur lacking it its hsrd to catch up again, i think cal is way underrated and is very important
