    Default Cal Mag for RO water with sensi grow?

    I just started using RO water because I have been having alot of cal/mag issues with my tap water. I plan on using RO for rez change and top offs with my 200ppm Tap water in a DWC system.

    I added 5ml/gal botanicare cal/mag and it put my RO a bit over 200ppm .7 scale before adding nutes yesterday. I also have a jug of diluted epsom salt for mg if needed. I do scrog under 1000w and have issues with cal/mag and K during 3rd or 4thwk of flower with my tap water so Im trying to see if calcium is locking my shit up or if its actual deficiency do to ppm of tap limiting my nutrient mix.

    I am using sensi grow a/b and Connoisseur for flower, does anyone know whether A/N nutes need cal/mg for RO water and how many ppm if so?

    Appreciate any input, I been on struggle for awhile now to figure out if I am cooking them or depriving them. I have the most issues in early veg and in mid flower with multiple strains. I ran Connoisseur for veg on my swiss cheese and I didnt have many problems at all so that is why I think my tap is fucking my mix up with calcium. I have all my nutes broke down on Cannastats nutrient calculator and been playing around with different ratios and followed mel franks ppm ranges but still run into problems with purple stems, yellow tips, tips curling up, necrosis on fan leaves and yellow tops or different shades of green througout plant so its been hard for me to identify the problem.

    actually i hate to be that guy but NO cal mag needed for AN products!!!! it states it right on the bottle "ATTENTION: If using AN base nutrients you wont need this product"
    literally on the cal/mag bottle just read it again to make sure. its not on their website for some reason but if u really need proof ill takea pic of the bottle

    have fun

    you maybe asking yourself why i own the bottle. that would be because i didnt read the bottle when i bought it awhile ago when i "thought" i needed to add it. still mostly full lol

    edit: why do you think its not included in their calculator. http://www.advancednutrients.com/hydroponics/calc/

    Because they have the Mg in the Bud Candy?

    Keep in mind that they'd rather you buy the expensive stuff. But, they still make and sell it.

    its in the base nutrient sensi, connoisseur, and the GMB
    bud candy is sweat leaf and carbo load combined so they dont make you buy 2 different bottles now. pretty cheap too for bud candy i believe $20/L? and GMB is like $10/L for each part and sensi is like 15 for A and 15 for B. connoisseur is like 30-40 for A and same for B but has a lot of things that they sell as ammendments aka all their products. ive used all 3. never needed cal/mag
    now thatd b a waste of money


    as long as your happy with end result just do whatever works best for you.
    the reason they still make and sell it is for people who arent running their line but for some reason wanna use their cal/mag with whatever other base nute they are using.

    Appreciate the input and I added cal/mag at 5ml/gal, so far so good. I will post pics in a week or so as it is only the first week of flower and things are looking good.

    I think the power, or what makes it work, is from the chelation agents or proteinates (L-Aminos). Not into it myself. I remember the first batches that smelt like old spice and leather.. lol
