Isn't Flora Nova a two part system?

 

[Emilya Green]

a magnesium hungry baby, as so many of our girls are. Get some calmag in there to suppliment your nutes.

 

[NOOOBIENOT]

Hello , no its there all in 1 line and it is the grow type I am using

 

[NOOOBIENOT]

I have been adding 2 ml of calmag to my nutes already do I need even more for 1 gallon of water as the nutes have calmag in them too

 

[Emilya Green]

and since you are already using a little bit, I would use more.... this is so far a mild case of mag deficiency... it could have been a whole lot worse

 

[Emilya Green]

2ml is nothing... do a heavy dosage and do it more often

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Ahhh it's 1 grow 1 bloom, gottcha

Ya I use 1teaspoon per gallon of calmag, some I've done 2t

2ml isn't much, like Emily said, add more for sure

I use 5ML per gallon for that age in mine every time I feed them

Hey dude, may want to add 1 gram of Epsom as it does look like a Mag issue.

not a good idea to add a salt to your soil... Epsom salt can be applied as a foliar spray to act as a temporary band-aid to fix a magnesium deficiency while you are waiting to get calmag into the system... but I try to avoid spraying it in my tent... i have better things to spray on my plants than salt.

He is not in soil, you have to add Mag to coco. IMO, add enough cal/Mag to get that amount of Mag needed in coco increases the N in your solution. If you are running lower than recommend nute, which to me is great (Less is More), and which he is doing you are not getting the amount of calcium or mag needed to grow in coco. I use Canna nutes an also run low nutes, in veg I run 250 to 300, and in flower 400 to 500 ppm, so I add 1 ml Cal/Magic and 1 gram of Epsom per gallon.

Look up H3ad's formula for coco in the Lucas thread, just google Lucas formula.

@NOOOBIENOT

Buddy you need some Mag. Oh and don't spray add it to your solution.

Not doubting you my friend but have a few questions. Always want to learn what others are doing.
What nutes are you using and what is your goal EC? 5 ml is a lot of cal/mag.

oops... my bad... should have read more of the background. Please accept my apology.

GH and (gasp) I don't measure my ppm

Mind sharing your rates, do you measure you pH, do you have a journal? I have been following your post and like what you have had to say.
One of the vets I works with is growing in coco and I have him using GH Micro and Bloom following H3ad's formula for coco, only as I say less is more and he keeps it a 3 parts Micro and 5 Bloom.

Yes I measure my ph. No I don't have a journal on here. But I've been thinking of starting one for my next grow

I use this , it's for general hydroponic flora series

And I use rapid start at half strength
I am growing in 2 gal smart pots(cloth), in straight coco, I use Tropf Bumat drippers with a reservoir, and a perfect sun led dwarf star.

Oh yeah, your the Blumat dude. Yeah I like what you have to say, good conversation.
Not sure where my journal is with the Bmat grow. As a said before it was a disaster, but was all me. You find anyone to buy my Mats?

Nope the guy I was thinkin about decided to stop growing for a while. But he's got a lot of beans that he doesn't mind sharing with me. That doesn't really help you though sorry
