Let’s say you forget to charge your coco with cal mag. What is the best way to charge ur solo cup with enough cal mag

Is the plant in the cup or not? Rooting clone, rooted clone or seedling younger than 4 wks.
Water in with liquid cal-mag if rooted clones, nothing in it or established seedling. Most liquid cal-mag contain nitrate so could burn young roots.
Otherwise you can mix up dolomite lime solution or top dress and water it in.

I read you need to wash coco first to get salts then make a solution with 150ml for every 800 grams of coco and legit soak in with normal water and put it in a tub of some sort

Super shot- my mix... 6ml cal mag. 1 ml micro from flora trio. 1 tablespoon black strap molasses. Plants aren’t dead but ones bottom leaves are very yellow and dying. New growth is still green and looks heathy. Watered with cal mag and water earlier to kinda flush and maintain. Then 5 hours later I just added a five good squirts out of squirt bottle directly aimed at bottom of steam. We shell see guys. Yeah I did just pre charge the new coco so this will not happen to the bianca seeds that I also just started germination on. I’ll keep you guys posted

This was taken earlier today prior to cal mag RO water flush. Five percent runoff

Why molasses?

I’ve been running the 18/6 lighting with mars hydro but I’m thinking I should switch to 24 to make sure these baby girls dry out in a timely matter. Thoughts on if switching back to 24 is Bad idea?they are two weeks old so I don’t know if it will really matter

Molasses has good sugars and carbs for the plant. Lots of growers use it to boost growth and help with transplant shock as well

Jeezus christ youre getting bad info or not knowing how to use it.
Lets start with molasses. Its an acidifier for one, will definitely lower pH. Hope you take that into account.
Plants do not absorb sugars. They make all the carbs they need. Thats why they are green. Or in your pics chlorotic! Not green!
The molasses are needed to boost microbes in the soil if you rely on salts instead of organic ferts. The microbes are needed to eat up the extra salts especially nitrogen during flowering and flushing.
Youd be much better off feeding 0-0-0 maxi-crop (not with Iron) to young plants.
To boost growth using molasses you need the ferts and microbes in soil. The molasses is the simple carbon source for microbes. Easier than other cellulose from compost or coir which takes months to become food for microbes. Carbon thats what limits the microbe population growth. They use N+ in the ferts to multiply and grow. They then release ammoniacal and urea wastes that plants will use first and preferential to nitrates.

In soilless, it does not help, and it invites a bacterial bloom which would likely skew your pH and lock out some ions.

Girls responding very well to the cocktail they got last night. So if anyone ever forgets to pre-charge there coco coir, follow the cocktail I made using one gallon of RO water and what I listed.
