anyone know easy ways of fixing a calcium deficiency? with out locking it up? i heard possibly a little lime in with a gallon of water? anyone know how much lime?

Buy epsom salt, not the one in the drug stores, although an alternative. But hydroshops carry maganese epsom salt.

Mix 1/2 tsp per gallon of water. Foiler feed optional ( I foiler feed em with epsom salt in the morning, right after the lights come on, and some times right before the lights come off. Spray under fan leaves, through the veins


How old are ur plants?
soil, hydro?
ph?
ppm? nutes?

temp? hum?

Lights?

If you have a way of accessing well water, that might work. Because I know the well water I have has calcium in it. You would just need to mix some of it with other purified water so you don't give it too much calcium.

Just because water comes from a well doesn't automatically mean it's going to have a high calc level. Also, I'm curious how dosing with manganese (Epsom salts) is going to help a calc problem.

Lime is calcareous, as is aragonite, dolomite, and crushed coral (all used for aquaria). You could try compounds made for African cichlids to bring up the calc levels and that would also raise the alkalinity (buffering capacity) of your water. I am a big fan of SeaChem's product lines for this, again, specifically in aquaria.

There is a way to treat the water so it doesn't "lock" as you say, but honestly I am not very familiar with how that works and haven't yet been able to wrap my head around water with high calc content that isn't also strongly buffered.
