Dude where's my calmag?

dankman1019 · Nov 11, 2013

Sup guys and gals,

I've been looking for some calmag. Local hardware, Ace Hardware, even Home Depot, can't find it anywhere. The closest hydro shop is like 50mi away so it looks like I'm gonna have to order some online. Anyone know of a good, inexpensive brand that I can just add to distilled water every feeding? Thanks!

Seems like a popular one, safe to use?

Amazon is where I shop! Good prices and I can burn while shopping without putting up with the public

Is this hydro or soil?

If soil, use dolomite lime for all your calcium needs. That should provide Mg also, but if it's not enough, epsom salts will do that.

If it's hydro, use calcium nitrate for calcium and epsom salts for Mg.

An "inexpensive brand" is Yara.

Check out cropking, but you can get calcium nitrate lots of places easily online.

Here's an amazon search for calcium nitrate in case you find a better deal there or better shipping.

Soil, ffof with distilled water and ff soil nute line. I'm basically looking for something I can add as a supplement to distilled water every feeding.
