You need it because it's calcium nitrate.
There are no other soluble forms of calcium other than calcium nitrate and calcium chloride, which is ideal for animals, and terrible for plants.
Calcium nitrate is the only way to get calcium hydroponically, so what's the fear in buying it?
It is also the best source of nitrogen when growing hydroponically! You can not get enough nitrate using only potassium nitrate, or you will have too much potassium.
It's the main ingredient by mass in almost all complete hydroponic formulas.
it's only 1-2 dollars a pound, even in small quantities, so just buy it. How can you go wrong?
Stop buying cal-mag+
Any questions? Good. This thread is closed. I'm not even trying to sell you something. It's a salt.
