For me, MC has been low in Mg from the start, and their latest version version is really out of whack with the Ca/Mg ratio. Epsom salt bumps the Mg (and sulfur) to help balance the two.i aint ever used epsom salt..how do you use it whats it for?
Just want to jump in to say I recommend mixing your full veg nutes by the gallon (or 4L) and then diluting down for early growth stages. It's much easier to accurately measure 4.5g (or whatever they recommend for full strength for this version) and cut it with water than to work with hundredths of a gram.
Just dilute 4:1 (water to nutes) for the babies, then 3:1, 2:1, etc. as they grow. You can also skip some dilutions depending on how fast they grow.
I find that MC doesn't go bad mixed in a 1 gallon milk jug even if left for a couple of weeks or more. Just give it a quick shake before using.

You mean magnesium.can be used for calcium.
oops. had to be one or the other lolYou mean magnesium.![]()
i have noted that so far anything thats just cal/mag is labeled 2-0-0. (newbie notes)

Keep an eye out for all the things Ca tox can cause.will have to remember that with the new stuff. i've been using a part dose of calmag almost from the beginning in the old stuff and will probably continue the practice.

ive been enjoying your thread and cake @bluter and i might have to try a swempy grow after these guys finish. no harm in trying everything at least once right
eventually i plan to attempt one those buckets that have the hole and tube water thing going on..i dont remember what theyre called, its like almost hydro without all the equipment.
How much Epsom salt do you use ? Do you also use gal mag or just the salt ?For me, MC has been low in Mg from the start, and their latest version version is really out of whack with the Ca/Mg ratio. Epsom salt bumps the Mg (and sulfur) to help balance the two.
This:what did you notice that prompted using the epsom? i'm wondering if i can get by with the calmag alone.
Just basic cheap epsom salt, and you can see the recent formula I did for Granny420 here:How much Epsom salt do you use ? Do you also use gal mag or just the salt ?
If I was going to tweak MC I would lower the Ca and raise the Mg, since their ratio is out of whack and the Ca runs a bit hot in these formulas.With just those two products, here is how I would feed my plants per gallon:
Full Veg:
MC v4: 4.2g
Epsom Salts: 0.7g
For those who like the details, that works out to 122-24-129, Ca: 82, Mg: 34, S: 46
Stretch:
MC v4: 4.5g
Epsom Salts: 0.8g
That's 131-26-138, Ca: 89, Mg: 38, S: 51
Full flower to harvest:
MC v4: 5.3g
Epsom Salts: 1.0g
That's 154-31-163, Ca: 105, Mg: 46, S: 62
I use 2 ml cal/mag and 1 gram Epsom salt per gallon, don't grow Hempy, grow coco/perlite DTW. Still works the same on the plants.How much Epsom salt do you use ? Do you also use gal mag or just the salt ?
its all coming together lolol the first time i looked at the STEP2 i looked at that and was like.." ?..um yeah..grams ..i can figure that one out..." hahahaha..I do have a scale and no I don't insist on using that paper. The pic above I posted was from the Greenleaf website. See again here. I'm.not sure why you say " if I insist on using that paper " I have actually shredded it this morning.
