Before I start, sorry if this is a mega ramble, I am sooooper stoned and it's only 4:50pm so not even near dinnner time yet...

Right so i've been growing organically for a few years now, and I love it so much, I use PM soil supreme, OT nutes + additives, and also have plagron bat guano and worm castings mixed in my soil. Oh also mixed in bactrex, myccotrex, startex (look up biotabs.eu) and some other such organic shit which is basically just various forms of mycorrhizae and other good bacteria. (I work in a grow shop so i get LOOOADS of free shit!)
So I have pretty much never had a problem with defficiency or bad pH or really any of that, I've always assumed that was just cos that's how organics (speshly premade soil mixes!) are rather than that i'm some kinda prodigal weed guru.
Right now i'm in a new set up in a new house and I have a GHS trainwrech and a BF blue cheese. (The blue cheese was a clone, the TW from seed).
The blue cheese is being a fussy little shit, I kinda knew this was gonna be the case cos i had got the cutting off a friend who has grown it out a few times from the mother.
AAANYWAYSES it's clearly got a cal mag issue, not terminal but potentially getting worse. I should mention I am in a hardwater area, i have the old formula PM OT but it should be fine for hard water.
Basically the situation is I have a bottle of Magne Cal+ by PM, and i'm pretty sure this isn't organic. I have also been given sample bottles of 'Uber' a new (I think?) line of synthetic nutes which i obviously am not gonna use, HOWEVER, one of the bottles is a product called F-D-S (foliar delivery system) - basically a wetting agent i think - but its main selling point is that you can spray during lights on withouot any negative effects. This is useful to me.
Now, my actual question: If i were to mix up a bit of this synthetic cal mag and foliar delivery system and use it as a foliar spray will I be able to use it and not affect the micro-herd in my soil? This is invaluable to me and I would rather let it deal with a bit of Cal mag deficiency then murder my whole root zone.
Wanted some other people's opinions to mull over.
PS. I have no money for about the next week so I can't buy any new products atm, i'm literally just asking for info on my specific situation rather than alternative organic products.
PPS. Don't abuse me cos I work in a grow shop, i'm not one of those dickheads who tries to sell you loads of unnecessary crap with shady bullshit to back it up, really i'm a double agent, one of you guys working behind enemy lines, who also takes advantage of free experience, free samples and wholesale pricing
One final note, one of the free sample packs I received recently that i've been using is the Microbe Life Hydroponics natural and organic range, it isn't nutes it's various micro-beneficiaries and bacteria, and I can tell you as an organic grower this shit is great, the photosynthesis plus product - just so fucking good, I don't know if it's in shops yet, but if it is get that shit! http://www.microbelifehydro.com/products/hydroponics/natural-and-organic/
THANKS IN ADVANCE, sorry if you have to make any translations from stonedenese, I am far too of the aforementioned to read this back and I have already totally forgotten the wording I used. thats UK Cheese for ya eh
