Are you in soil or hydro? In soil, you shouldn't need calmag. And, if you did need it but didn't want to increase your N, then you could use General Organics CaMg+. It has no N.

General Organics product line is more for soil, while Gen Hydro is more for hydro (and their calmag has N because it contains calcium nitrate). Gen Org's product is calcium carbonate broken down in acid.

Epsom salt will treat mg def. Gypsum dissolved in water (to the extent it will dissolve, it will, but not entirely) will treat ca def. You can dissolve eggshells in vinegar to get a purer form of ca for future deficiencies.

Buying a calmag product seems like a waste just to treat individual deficiencies. If you used RO water I could see using calmag to replace minerals lost to filtering. But, if you use tap water, you shouldn't need calmag. Just the individual ca and mg products to treat defs.

You're sure your tap water's ppms aren't too high?
