agree, and I also believe your water source is a factor as well, some water sources just need a bit of help if your nutes don't have cal-mag included

some people like me have 50ppm water and some have 500ppm full of mag one of us will never use it other one will have to add it to water allways

Yes I used calcium nitrate and magnesium sulphate as part of my nutrient balance.

Most complete nutrient regiments contain plenty of calcium and magnesium for your plants. People often add CalMag when it's not needed and it only exacerbates their issues.

When people refer to CalMag they are talking about concentrated liquid additive like GH CalMag.

I didn't say I didn't add calcium or magnesium, I said I don't use CalMag.
I'm using calcium nitrate and magnesium sulphate dry salts. There's a huge difference, but then again you probably know that and are trolling.

CalMag is a mixed concentrated calcium and magnesium additive.

help me here whats the chemical formula for that thing in your photo and for salts? because concentrated doesnt mean anything you can put 5kg of salt in water as long as its soluble

CalMag vs Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salt) and Calcium Nitrate

Can I use CalMag in place of Epsom Salt and Calcium Nitrate? Are they essentially the same thing?

"Calmag is only 2% nitrate where calcium nitrate is about 15%nitrate " soo its even weaker than your salts.

I'm quite aware of that. Both tap and well water do fluctuate throughout the year. For hydro, I would always use RO water. In soil that's a different story.

if you have the money its better than normal water. usually sistems are expensive cheaper ones are slow. and you have to use little bit more nutes because you remove everything from water) but if you can buy it its a great investment

$100 and you can can filer 75 gallons of RO a day, which is way more than any hobby grower needs. Honestly using tap water in hydro is foolish, you will be fighting potential ph issues which you don't have to worry about with RO due to carbonates in tap water. The idea that RO is an impeding expense is a misnomer.

My big problem with R/O is that you're working with a ratio of something like 2:1 waste water to filtered water. While I'm only doing ~20g of water a week, that would be 60g out of my well each week for R/O.
