Hi,
I am using RO water and I didn't used calmag or something similar for my plants.
Hence my plants developed deficiencies.
As calmag is not available in my location I bought Canna Mono Nutrients (Separate bottles of Magnesiums and Calcium).
I read that the Calcium to Magnesium ratio is not optimal in calmag and I was wondering what the ideal ratio is.
I am also wondering how much "ml" Calcium and Magnesium I have to supplement for one gallon or liter?
I could also work with EC values if you can state any.
Currently I am using Advanced Nutrients 3-part in 3-2-1 ratio, EC 1.2, shortly before switching to flower.
Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus recipe: (use up to 5ml/gallon - 1,3ml/l)
Total Nitrogen (N) ..... 2.0%
Calcium (Ca) ..... 3.2%
Magnesium (Mg) ..... 1.2%
So botanicare is using a 3:1 ratio (more or less)
Canna Mono Calcium: 15% calcium (Ca) and is chloride-free (use 1-2ml/l)
Canna Mono Magnesium: 7% MgO and 14% SO3 (use 1-2ml/l)
So if I want to use the Botanicare recipe with Canna Mono Nutrients I only need to use 0.21ml/l of Calcium and 0,22ml Magnesium as the Canna Mono Nutrients have a much higher concentration.
If you compare the Canna recipe with the Botanicare one it is suggesting to use 4,7x times more calcium and 5,8x more magnesium?
Isn't that a bit excessive?
I hope you can help me.
