No freaking way! really??? I’ve already upped her calcium some / if I up it much more those ppms are gonna hit 1300 or so!
I'm no hydro person but I know a calcium deficiency when I see one. Could you be locking out Ca with high amounts of some other nute? Phosphorus (P) locks out Ca at high numbers, which is why folks running bloom boosters can see Ca deficiencies.
Stick with the dosage on the bottle? (2 tsp/gallon)
Oh hon, its not that I dont believe YOU - its just that she hasnt had a problem thus far so I was wondering if it was something else
Doubt it because she still on the same nutes she’s been on for weeks … havent switched to the bloom formula yet cus she technically doesnt have flowers yet.
Yeah, I always aim to start the pH at 5.0 because I know it usually swings a full point over 24 hours and this way I’m guaranteed she’s got all the butes available from one end of the ph spectrum to the other
As plants go into flower their requirements change, and the can change before we see what's happening above board. Your cal-mag is 4-0-0 so boosting it will raise you nitrogen, which needs to be taken into account when bumping that. There are other brands lower in N (and some that are 0-0-0).
I didnt know that. I thought since N wasnt listed on the calmag bottle thatt N would be zero (I’m still learning!)
Not sure, I’ll have to check in the morning.
Botanicare says 1 tsp/gallon twice a week max. (Cal-Mag Plus)
@Carcass - see the link @InTheShed just posted above. The brand I use says 1 tsp/gallon for SOIL, but for Hydro and deficiencies it says 2 tap/gallon.
I read that-I don't think they're talking about foliar feeding- soil or hydro don't make any difference if you're spraying it on the leaves and not adding it to the res or watering it in to the soil.
Got ya - I see what you mean
… how much should I spray her down? How often?
Thanks @Carcass1tsp/gallon, no more than twice a week...although, I'm just going by what Botanicare says, but they should know.
Concentrate on the undersides of the leaves, that's where the stomata are, and they're what absorbs stuff ...
... I certainly wouldn't have know to spray the undersides of the leaves!
That also makes it a pain in the ass to do, since most spray bottles don't spray upside down- if you elevate the plant, like on a ladder or something.
