Is there a way to grow without using Cal Mag??? Cal Mag is a problem for me as I never know if I'm using too much or too little...
No Cal Mag

Certainly, depending on your nutes and water source.

Same using AN Jungle Juice. However it did require cal mag in the first month of flower. Every time.

It comes down to what your method is. I'm using Miracle-Gro moisture control soil 0.18-0.10-0.10, 5 gal fabric pots, and 24-8-16 / 15-30-15 dissolving salts for food, and tap water ~180ppm ~7.0 pH. I don't adjust the pH.
My last 3 runs I didn't use any calmag. This run I've added it once in veg feeding at 6 weeks old and again at 2nd flower feeding at 15 weeks old (day 35 flower or 5 weeks)
I bought a 2-0-0 bottle of green planet pro cal. I used 0.5ml per litre of water, so less than half suggested "for soil-less grows." I actually bought it for my Pepper tree, which completely stopped it from yellowing and dropping leaves.
The difference in the cannabis is quite astonishing, most noticeable the praying. My last 3 runs didn't barely pray. This time they are like standing straight up. The fact that both plants this run, completely different seeds, and are both doing it simultaneously is pretty telling.
No it's not a fan blowing the leaves up, and this is how it's been since giving calmag. If it makes any difference in bud production I have no idea, but happy plants = better fruit.

All the nute lines contain Cal Mag. You are asking which one of them does not require adding extra Cal Mag. Floraflex is a good example. There are others.

Yes but are the ratios right? Praying for Magnesium is what Ive always thought.

you could use epsom salt and bone meal, you could even use eggshells(crushed up) instead of bone meal

Yes, you can just use whatever amount they tell you. FF is reliable.

I don't use CalMag. I use a Liquid Seaweed Plant Food and it claims to be rich in Calcium and Magnesium, I don't get deficiencies, so I guess it is. I also add a TBSP of Epsom Salts to a gallon of feed every few weeks.
