I'm using calimag 5ml per gal. Is that enough? What are some good sources of calcium epsome salt?
Epsom salts for Magnesium and Sulphur.

I’d be hesitant at adding more calmag until I was certain it’s not a PH issue or another nutrient is blocking the absorption of calcium.

Maybe another 1ml per gal but that’s a last step imo

Ok, my pH is at 6.1-6.5. I've gotten so many mixed opinions on Coco and pH.. also when to get the reading. For example; I k ow the water from the tap comes out at about 7.3 after oxegenation and declorination. If I use recharge I don't pH down. If I add molasses I also don't pH down. After everything is added am I supposed to still read the pH and adjust?

From my knowledge of Coco that’s a little high. Pretty sure you want to aim for 5.5-6? With 5.8 being a sweet spot. 6.5 is best for soil.

Take a reading after it is mixed in and settled.

Ok thanks man I'll lower the pH and see if that helps. The acid won't kill the microorganisms?

Well measure the ph once it’s all mixed together. Then go from there. I’d aim for 6 then if no improvement aim for 5.8 if you have been feeding 6.1-6.5

Mix everything and then pH to 6.0. It also looks like you could back off on the nutes some.

To much nitrogen imo but they looking ok. I would defo back the nitrogen before for its to late. I keep my coco bang on 6.1 with no issues. Good luck :leaf:
