Can I use cal mag in the same water as I have my vegging nutrients in?

[Nicholasgrows]

I'm wondering if cal mag can be mixed into my vegging nutrients water or if I have to do it separately into another 4L of water ?

 

[Star Dog]

Calmag gets mixed into the water 1st then the nutrient added, calmag then nutrients in the same water.

 

[Rurumo]

yep, all goes in the same nutrient solution, just keep an eye on your ppms because calmag adds a lot

 

[Nicholasgrows]

How can I add together or tell ppms?
I'm new to this so I apologize for my lack of knowledge

 

[Nicholasgrows]

And thank you for the quick answers!

what EC/ppm your water read out of the tap ?

 

[Star Dog]

Ideally you need a quality ec/ppm meter, imo it's a must have for hydro.

I don't know how to check for that

PPM pen. And just mix in a bucket before using or adding to reservoir. I highly suggest a PPM and a PH pen. A decent cheap pair will keep you and plants happier. My $12 combo that functions flawlessly after a few years. Just keep them clean

Must have for plants period.

Peace.

yep get some ppm/ph pens, like above.
not sure you will need calmag

its not a magic potion, it must be used in recognized need

I have a buddy that diagnosed calcium and magnesium deficiency in my plant based off some pictures, I will post some here so you can judge

Here are a few shots

Add a table spoon of fish emulsion to gallon of water and leave cal/mag issues behind. LOL.

That is too much water and a ph issue. Get the pens. Reduce the water inputs.

Oh my goodness, that poor girl

Less water and a balanced ph should help them?

Thank you! Will be ordering the pens off Amazon

As for purity of water

If plants like a lower ppm during seedling, vegging, and flowering, does that mean I change the volume of nutrients in my water based on the stage of growth they are in?

Close. I increase PH as I get into flower. My nute PPM's are gradually increased as plant grows and tolerates more. It is a basic principle. We complicate it trying to mix and use urine of Zuess.

 

[Nicholasgrows]

So basically, lower ppms during younger stages = less during younger stages?
Seeing as the plant will tolerate more as it ages
