  • How and When to Use Cal-mag for Growing Cannabis
    Growing cannabis is a lot of fun until your plants start dying without any rhyme or reason.
    Well, there certainly is a reason, but you may not see it first. Moreover, this can be very frustrating, especially if you’ve cared for the plants like they are your own children. Among the many problems facing plants, cannabis nutrient deficiencies are the most common and can end up causing nutrient lockout.
    What is Cal-mag and how can we use it in cannabis growth and when is the Right time to use it?”
    Some of you may be thinking about Cal-mag and why should you need to use it for cannabis!
    Knowing that your plant has a nutrient deficiency is essential for maintaining a healthy crop because cannabis plants need nutrients to develop the branches, leaves and further along into their growth cycle, the buds.
    A nutrient deficiency occurs when your plants don’t get enough food, become stressed and can be more susceptible to bugs, mold, and diseases which can reduce the yields and ultimately kill your plants. These nutrient deficiencies often present in the leaves, such as yellowing, burnt tips, and in more serious cases, crispy and burnt leaves.
    it’s important to know that a nutrient deficiency is not only caused by underfeeding but also due to improper pH levels and should not be confused with nutrient toxicity, which is caused by excessive feeding.
    Cal-mag is nothing more than a supplement of Calcium and magnesium and other nutrients, cal-mag deficiency often happen together in plants. This is why most growers deal with cal mag deficiency at some point. The easiest way to deal with cal mag deficiency is to add good quality composite to the soil.
    You can add garden lime, crushed eggshells, dolomite, and even fish meal to enhance the quality of your soil. And of course you can Use a Cal-Mag Supplement directly.
    So you can mix Cal-mag with your normal nutrients solution that you can store in gallon of water.
    The reason of using cal-mag is to fulfill the requirement of minerals to plant. If we talk about the dosage of Cal-Mag then the exact dosage would be 3-5 ml per gallon of water, this 5ml will be equal to one teaspoon so for 5 gallons it will be 20-25ml of Cal-Mag.
    5ml will be the initial dosage amount for soil if you have existing calcium and magnesium deficiency in your plants. But if you want to use it as a preventive measure then you need to start with 1-1.5ml per gallon.
    If using a soilless medium such as coco coir, then it’s a good idea to load up on the Cal-Mag prior to transplanting your established clone or seed. Start with 5 mL/gallon for the first few watering’s, then reverse back to 1-1.5 mL/gallon thereafter.
    But when should you use cal-mag?
    If you are experiencing calcium magnesium deficiencies then we recommend not waiting, applying 1 or 2ml of cal-mag per gallon of water and pouring straight to your plants. the ideal time of using cal-mag is in day time or after the lights turn on, Because during the day the movement of water is quicker than at night.
    The best way to resolve nutrient issues with cannabis is to catch them early. But it’s even better to prevent likely issues outright, which is why you should use a light dose of Cal-Mag throughout your grows
    So, in summary the starting dosage of cal-mag should be 1-3 ml/gallon as a preventive measure. And for most growers the ideal time of watering is just before the rising of sun. Because plant will stay in a healthier environment all day long.

    I have been growing for 5 years. This year I have been using 5ml of cal-mag per gallon throughout the growing season. I’m now in the 4th week of flowering. All 6 plants are Granddaddy Purple. They are all very healthy and happy. This is my best grow yet. I’m not sure if it’s the cal-mag, but I am being very precise about the fertilizer and pH. Growing in 10 gallon cloth bags in Lucky Dog soil.

      ​@@ileene666yes my recommendation is Jesus Christ and general hydroponics brand flora series 3 part nutrients. Be sure to mix correctly micro nutes first, then the other ones. You're also going to need calmag. I recommend the general hydroponics calimagic. Now when mixing calmag it has to go in before micro nutes and then the micro and so on. Otherwise you can cause a nutrient lockout. Then I recommend following the feeding mixture recommended on bottled but for cannabis do it in half of what it says or you might get nutrient burn because it runs a little hot. Don't forget to get some ph up and down with a ph tester. It's a mandatory tool if growing cannabis and using nutrients in coco coir or hydro. You want to check your pH in the water/fertilizer because it has to be between 5.5-6.5 but for the roots to suck up nutes and science if horticulture in snit. This is the basics .

      Magnesium deficiency ALWAYS presents itself on older leaves as interveinal chlorosis. If your lowers are green and normal and the new leaves are discolored DO NOT APPLY CAL-MAG! Your issues are a nutrient imbalance! Best way to combat this issue is frequent low ec doses of a balanced NPK and micronutrient solutions. Cal-mag can and will lock out phosphates and discolor everything. Avoid avoid avoid using cal-mag because you heard on the DGC or Mr Grow it, and always avoid pidgeons 420. Cal-mag IS ONLY HELPFUL when calcium and magnesium are deficient. Seriously, if you're looking to grow healthy weed, get educated on plant nutrition. The popular crowd is usually wrong!!!

    My additive stop using Cal-mag and bottle nutrient all together. Instead use organic amendments like espoma garden tone 344 which has every micro and macronutrients available and the bacteria to break it down and help regulate the uptake of these nutrients. Otherwise you will be giving your plant Cal-mag which is laced with nitrogen that it didn't need on top of that regardless of the nutrient used. When a plant encounters synthetic nutrients they uptake them regardless if they need them or not. Then they get nutrient lock out and nitrogen toxicity as a result. When all they needed at the time was magnesium sulfate found in Epsom salt and a 1/2 in one gallon of water will do the trick. Or if you need just calcium. Then use egg shells ground into a powder in a blender or coffee grinder. Then let them steep in a small amount of boiling water for an hour. Then let it rest and cool overnight. The next day you can apply it. But do not do something even more stupid like using vinegar to draw out the calcium. Because vinegar is also a substitute for ph down and only a few drops can reduce a healthy soil ph of 6.4 to 4 or less in no time at all. That's also another reason to go full organic soil amendments in combination with GreatWhite or recharge. Using soil microbes and mycholrizal fungi and trichoderma bacteria blend. Will regulate the soil ph levels and the nutrient uptake. That's why I'm truly giving you the very best way to grow organic.

      @Johnny Santana well kelp is highest in potassium levels out of all other things. In nitrogen and phosphorus it's typically low, unless you intentionally buy a product that's high in nitrogen. Though I know this is not your question I just wanted to let you know that is generally high in potassium and in aminoacids and trace minerals. As for magnesium or calcium I beg to differ on it being that effective if at all in those areas.
      On the other hand since kelp is high in aminoacids, enzymes, and trace minerals. The combination and especially the enzymes will help your plant use its nutrients more effectively. Or rather be it enzymes and aminoacids will speed up growth all together. Since the aminoacids and enzymes are what your plants use to uptake nutrients. However having a full organic soil with mycholrizal fungi and bacteria blend will best serve your plants. Since the rizosphere feeds the roots directly as the plant exchanges its sugars at night. At night the plant sends down sugars to feed the microbes and mycholrizal fungi. In turn the mycholrizal fungi and bacteria blend work together to give your plants food during the day. Such as it is with magnesium and calcium.

      @Johnny Santana I appreciate the kind words, however at a distance and in person. Often times, a friend is a ear and I just do my best to let my heart guide me to helping others who are just as insightful as I am. With knowledge alone, comes not wisdom. Unless we combine faith with reason from the heart let all things flow evenly. When head and hands meet and go to work. They must be mediated by the heart. The great judgement of faith and reason and back again is the heart and from the heart when these two pillars meet and become one the rest will fall into place and thus knowledge becomes wisdom.

    Autoflower, Soil: So I water (tap after 48 hours) 2 quart per 5 gallon soil every other day. I was told to stop using: (cal_mag 2ml/micro 2/grow 1/bloom 3) Per gallon. I started a week ago because of yellowing/spotting/drying leaves. So I increased ph watering at 7ph, but runoff is still around 4ph after one week. When I test for runoff I add more water into the soil about 15 min after the first 2 quart using a clean bucket. I notice that the runoff looks almost dark yellow (like tea). Then I take that water into a cup and test which it shows at 4ph (way too low!!!). I look this up and some say to use: Dolomitic Lime 6 teaspoons per gallon. I look up Dolomitic Lime and that only comes in "Pulverized Dolomitic Lime" which is hard to dissolve in water? Showing pictures is not going to do anything because the plants are like I mentioned: Yellow/spotting/drying, all this started during flowering. Flowering started about 3 weeks ago with no sign of budding. Should I increase the calmag to 5 ml per gallon and only use that in the water, making sure that ph is around 7? Please help. Thank You!

Perhaps not at this level, but with some mixtures, expressing them as a ratio can be a bit more universal. This comment is just to keep you guys on your toes.

    Two tips that as a lifetime coco coir grower I've found have helped me immensely and ensure healthy growth/bloom every time.
    1. Soak/buffer your coco before you transplant your seedling in. Cannot stress how important this is. I use a bin with 30L or so of calmag mixed as per the manufacturers recommendation and soak it for 24 hours. Give it a thorough rinse with 9L or so of more calmag just to remove any build up and you're good to transplant.
    2. If you find you didn't soak it long enough or calmag deficiencies are starting to show, you can use it as a foliar spray in the morning and evening to rapidly address the deficiency.
    Happy growing!

I'm still a novice but have had successful grows in the past using NPK Raw nutrients. Genetics and plants with tap roots are far easier to grow than clones in my opinion.

    @BrianM-44041 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'm already using tap water, azomite, ground eggshells, epsom salts, and bio char, so I have no need to add calmag. There is no such thing as a calmag deficiency, calcium and magnesium are separate nutrients and both show deficiency differently. Calmag is not the answer to every issue. Proper watering and a super soil mix should eliminate the need for calmag unless you're running RO water or distilled. In hydro, aero, or an inert medium such as coco , rockwool, dwc, etc this is a totally different animal. If you're in soil do not run out and waste money on calmag unless you see a deficiency, which I've never had in decades of growing. Keeping your substrate at the proper ph is also hugely important to uptake of nutrients as well. I recommend 5.5 to 6.5 in veg and flower. 6.2 works for me in flower well. Chalk is almost entirely gypsum calcium as is drywall board if you're looking for cheap amendments. Diatomaceous earth is good for silica if you would like to add that cheaply. Calmag is a tiny amount of active ingredients and the rest is just water in a plastic bottle. Dolomite and gypsum lime as well as oyster shell calcium, azomite, calcium silicate, wood ash, bone meal, etc are all good sources of calcium for plants. Always check your other nutrients for calcium and magnesium content before adding any randomly. Calcium is good for many plant processes and also chelating some a well as balancing pH. Magnesium is necessary but a little goes a long way so don't overdo that either. A tiny amount of Epsom salts a few times during veg and in the initial soil mix will probably provide plenty of mag and sulfur for the entire grow.

      I use straight well water PH'd. I don't worry about calcium. I do use about a Tablespoon of epsom salts in my water after veg gets going. Couple scoops of nutes in the bloom stage and preflower. I build my own soils and amend that before planting. I will use calmag if I see a deficiency, but otherwise the bloom nutes have some in and my soil has some built in. I'm currently running three different strains in three different soils and nearing the finish line with no issues yet.

      Please retract that statement. Cal-mag is the most hazardous bottle nutrient available. Because it comes loaded with 2% nitrogen and can often lead to nutrient lock out. When people do not know how or when to use it. As is often the case when magnesium is more often the problem, not calcium. Thus compounding the problem when you only ever needed a little more magnesium, but you just gave your plants more nitrogen and calcium they didn't need. That's the problem with bottled nutrients all together. Because they are synthetic and feed the roots directly instead of organic microbes and the rizosphere in nature that regulates the uptake of these nutrients. The plants in a synthetic nutrient system take up everything you put in the water or coco or God forbid you use bottles in soil. The cell walls will take up every bit of nutrients they find In a synthetic nutrient system. They will be full to bursting and your leaves will turn a dark green, the tips will burn, and regardless of the synthetic nutrients you use. The plant will have a nitrogen toxicity. Because it can sense the presence of extra nutrients and will begin to photosynthesize as much as it can to use up these nutrients to cure the swelling if you will of those cell walls. This in turn increases nitrogen production and thus more chlorophyll is produced as a result. This means greener and greener buds and especially in flower when growing the buds. Is all your plant can do to grow at all. But this will result in larfy buds that take ages to cure. That are high in THC but not much else, especially terpenes.
