So as per y'all's advise I bought the AGLime cal-mag powder for the plants and have applied it. My two questions are how often per week do I apply the lime & how do I properly use the Neem oil on my plants?

I mix up the neem in small quantities because it likes to separate after a while. I mix it according to the directions on the back pamphlet of the bottle, I think it’s like 2-4 tablespoons per gallon, I usually do a teaspoon for my little hand spray bottle I only fill halfway. I like to apply it just after sundown or lights off, it seems a lot of the critters come out when it’s darker so you really get at the little buggers plus it keeps it from causing leaf burn that might happen if applying in direct light. I will start out spraying every other day for the first 3 applications then every 3-5 days, for a total of two weeks or until you know you’ve taken care of them. That’s what seems to work for me but everyone has there own way depending on the pests and how bad it is. Most are still pretty similar to what I do.
As for the aglime, I’ll have Lil Mikey answer that. My aglime experience is applying tons of it via tractor and side slinging spreader on a few thousand acres of crop land on the family farm, not small scale by any means.

It’s a very handy product to have on hand regardless of what you’re growing.

Do you reckon that MG all purpose plant will suffice all throughout the grow until harvest or I'll need something else to help them grow buds?

The MG All Purpose has a pretty high nitrogen ratio for flowering. Try to find something with a lower nitrogen to phosphorous/potassium ratio for flowering. Have you checked out our sponsor GeoFlora? They have a free 4lb sample of their veg and flower organic fertilizers, you just have to pay shipping but I reckon shipping to you is going to be a lot more than the $13.99 USD flat rate shipping I paid or if they offer out of country shipping at all.

Mg is a horrible salt based fert that is not really the right ratio for cannabis. Not to mention the parent company is heinous.
Do what you have to do. But I would not buy MG products.

Then please recommend something for him to use besides telling him what he is doing is wrong. You’re no help by telling someone what they are using is junk without maybe trying to help by suggesting products that will work.

At some point he will need a calmag product. Pick one. Like humbolts secret, calmag +iron. [Especially with RO water or led. Ypull need calmag
A single fertilizer or two part system is in my opinion, superior. So general hydroponics floraNova line. FloraGro and ForaBloom.
Or a single part system like megacrop.
Altho, the jury is still out on megacrop. They seem to want to sell 9 bottles too.
Also root enzymes and microbes can be amazing.

That's why I'm using AgLime. It has cal-mag in it already.

Yeah, but lime will raise the PH of your medium. You might want that and you might not.

@lilmikeygibson420 has been using it on his plants outdoors with great success. I think I'll continue using it dispite what you have to say about it. But I'll try the rooting hormones though.

Its true. A little lime wont hurt anything. Depending on what type of nitrogen is in your fert, your roots will trend it down. So a little lime is a good buffer.
A great way to correct pot PH is lime.
A Table spoon of lime in a gallon of water will bring the PH of a pot up by .5 with each gallon. [or maybe it was a teaspoon] research it before you do it.
If youre using tap they will probably get plenty anyway. If youre in RO id invest in a good calmag. Itw cheap

I'm using well water from an underground natural aquifer. Same stuff I grew up on. It's hard water so it's got plenty of calculim and the pH is within the range. I'll probably only lime them once every 3 weeks or so just to be on the safe side. Just transported 3 plants to bigger pots today so I'm stoked to see more growth out of them. Since everyone's been helping me for my 1st time all my plants are thriving now.

Lil Mikey, your plants are out growing your corn that it looks like you have planted as a privacy screen! Damn those are some big leaves too! Very happy looking plants.

Lol...I just keep moving around till corn gets up high enough...makes it alot easier to feed everything the same time outside with same teas and topdress....the pots are hide now..
