Coco nute ratio problems

[joeparak]

Im growing in coco and my cal/mag solution reads 22% Calcium 10% Nitrogen 2%Magnesium 5% L free amino and 0.5% Iron im using a water soluble npk 18 18 18 nute and i wanted to ask you guys if the N in my cal/mag and npk nute add uo and lead to a Nitrogen tox or is it safe to use?
im growing autos tho

First 10 days of flower it's fine to use once. After that it's to N heavy in my opinion, sure to claw at some point. Maybe squeeze by using it once a week.

You da mvp bro
im planning to mix 3ml of the cal mag in some water then add the diluted solution to my 1tsp of the 18 18 18 npk in a liter(or a gallon?) of water and use it every other watering for about 4~5 weeks then do the same but with a 2 18 35 npk nute tho im still in the seedling stage and its an auto fem seed
im super worried bout the N tox possibility tho cause it killed my last grow

should i get a all Calcium solution?sounds much safer to me too

Try a bag of Epsom salt first. The water may have enough calcium in it already. If it shows signs then do a calmag.

how much and how should i use epsom salt tho?
both of my nutes got some MgO in them but no Calcium so i mixed some extra perlites and vermiculites in the coco mix

Ok, I have a powder feed that is just like that. I got a bottle of liquid calcium from nectar of the gods. Worked good.

Me personally, I use 2 TBS per 5 gallons of water. Or I'll just amend some in the mix prior to planting.

right on!im gonna go with the powder npk stuff and some liquid calcium too if you say it works well tho doesnt sound like that much Magnesium is needed at least not as much as calcium and other elements
how does feed/water+calcium/feed/water+calcium sound ?or should it be feed+calcium/water cycle?

You can try it and see how it does.

Read that link when ever you can about mg being locked up by the Coco and only fix is more mg.

i read it tho i have to choose between adding more cal or mg or maybe i should get both and mix myself they sell calcium and magnesium liquids separately but not mixed as cal-mag

you can get calcium nitrate for your Ca and Epsom salt for your Mg.

what base nutes are you using?

if you want something easy for coco, try H3AD's formula: 6 mL/gal GH micro, 9mL/gal GH bloom and 1gram/gal Epsom.

i thought epsom is to fix the Ca ratio so its for getting some Mg in the coco?
whats GH tho?

Epsom is (Mg) sulfate.
GH is general hydroponics brand/company. Your side would be GHE

and the sulfur is good too. brings out flavors and terpenes.

so GHE is in the UK/Europe? didn't know that.
