Do you use Cal mag?

How many of you use cal mag? Regardless if you use it or not, please state if you use RO filtered water or not and what PPM your water comes out of the tap at.

I use magical by technoflora and sense cal by an

Works well when there's a cal mag issue

i got a quart of botanice cal mag plus on hand incase its needed..but i dotn regulary use it

Do either of you use R/O water or are you both from tap? if from tap, what PPM does your tap come out at?

If thats not too much to ask

Tap water ppm is 100

my bad..i use tap water but it sits in the big jugs for a few days befor ei use it

HR I must always spread when I try repping you.
rep to the others who responded as well. I'm just curious as to the necessity of it. About 19 out of every journals I read have the use of cal mag.
But one thing I've realized is most of these folks dont have tap that comes out at 10-15 PPM

When useing ro its almost a must everytime to use a calmag sup of some sort!
The only other 2 reason are shitty nutes and a nute line with a high k ratio
Causing a cal mag def. So i must ask what you using nute?

I have yet to setup. Im waiting for a new location. Will be using GH 3 part(more than likely use Lucas formula for flower) with addition of AN's big bud and Overdrive.
Tap comes out no higher than 20 and the first time I tested it read 7. Im sure the new place will be a tad different but not much.

Sounds good on the water yum, when you get going drop by my thread and post some pics i would love to checkem out

Tap water 250ppm , never use cal mag. Grows as well as in R.O. and cheaper / easier.

Should only need to use R.O. if you are brainwashed or really shitty well water.

since i find r/o water wasteful & doing nothing more than running up my water bill, i am very successful with tapwater.

my tap is 145 ppm. i generally add 100 (ish) ppm of calmag to every rez.

& i rarely mix up nutes over 850 to 1000 ppm.



read up on the connection between cal & flower production as its an important one.

If you use R/O water cal/mag is a must thats what reverse osmosis filters out.

Thats the least that I can do for you.

I use an ro filter and add cal mag every time i water/feed which is every other day.

RO water at under 10ppm.

I always use tons of calmag as I'm strictly an OG Kush grower.
