I did some number crunching on Hydro Buddy to compare MC Vegan(6) with Calmag(5) to MC Vegan(5), Calmag(5) and Sweet Candy(1) and they came back pretty close. The 6/5 mix has more nitrate and calcium, than the 5/5/1 mix. FYI, nitrate is needed for calcium movement up through the plant, but also if any of the cations are too plentiful, calcium uptake will be the first to be effected being immobile and all. So for ideal calcium uptake, you need a lot of nitrate, and not too much K+, Mg++ or ammonia (NH4+).
IMO, you can use the Sweet Candy with MC Vegan and Calcmag, but it will have less calcium and nitrate, not to mention the difference of elements in 6 grams of MC vs 5 grams.
