Most of us keep bumping our grams in flower until we see the tips complain and then back it off to the last happy place. My AK-47 is happy at 5.5g/gal but I'm at 6.5g on others.

They leaves were standing up on end this morning , they hadn’t done that yet ! I’m still on the five grams a gallon. And thanks for having me try city water I see no harm at all ! These ph charts have me utterly confused . One has calcium 5.8 and below and another has calcium above 5.8 which is right we can’t have both ?

The way the buds are forming I believe I’ll put another 20 grams in the reservoir, in the morning. The chart also said to increase nutrients ec, I’ve never followed when it said to . About time I follow 100% !
No blown tips yet , I also cut back on watering i could tell in the leaves it was too much . The leds don’t boil the water out of the reservoir .
 
Which one of these charts are right ?

Aren't they both at 5.8? Top end of manganese and bottom end of magnesium? Though some of the other elements are swapped between the two (Ca and P for example).

The top one. calcium is 5.0-5.8 the next pic is 6.0 to 7.5 for calcium?
 
Aside from PH issues, calcium uptake can also be inhibited if there is too much P or S, as well as cationic imbalance with any of the other cat's (K+, Mg++, NH4+). In a solution, calcium is about the biggest PITA as it gets.

Oh, I forgot about perspiration. If that is inhibited, calcium won't move through the plant's zylem. FWIW, in my hydro book, it says that ideal hydro PH for calcium is lower than 6.5, lol.

It’s like three days that they filled in while I watched ! Enjoying it , $ not spent getting there !
Next grow I’ll use additives, big Bud and bud candy doesn’t show to be ph perfect !
 
I'm in ProMix, but anytime my plants show any kind of deficiency, I just bump the grams of MC and they go away.

Watch out for those additives. Anything adding K to the MC numbers will throw your ratio way out of whack. Big Bud is 1-17-38. MegaCrop was designed to need no additives in flower.

I put that 20 grams in this morning!
I can see it without additives, the buds are forming as good as AN nutrients!
The only additives is Z-7 and the only reason I put it is the outside temp right now is 102 degrees in the shade not taking no chance.

I meant the Big Bud. You will end up at (9-6-17) + (1-17-38) = 10-23-55, or 1-2.3-5.5. Yikes!

Doesn’t MC have there own big Bud ?
 
Yes, but it was designed for an earlier formulation. They still sell it because they're in the business of making money!

Understand kind of like the pro calmag I bought!
Only usable in veg!
I don’t know what they did to it but it works !
 
I'm using it from roots to harvest and nothing else. All my plants seem pretty happy with it.
