That looks useful. I wish they did such a thing for GNU/Linux based OSes.
It runs on Linux apparently, sorry about that bro.
I just fix the previous post, thanks

remember if you try a different salt, try to mix in 1 liter first just in case your mix precipitate.

Happy growing

1g of 99% calcium chloride to 20ltr gives you 50ppm.

With the epsom salts I just add a sprinkle until I've raised the ec 0.1/0.2ec
Do you know if you can mix (diluted) calcium
Chloride and Epsom salts to make a calmag solution?

One of my plants is lacking calcium but there’s enough magnesium in the soil so don’t want to add a general calmag.

Would this work?

No, Calcium can't be mixed with Sulfer in concentration.

Even if it’s diluted then added to a diluted Epsom salt mix?

If so, alternately can I just add a measure of diluted calcium chloride to the water before feeding so it isn’t sitting together?

Sorry, I think I read you’re previous comment too fast, I was thinking you wanted to make your own stock solution (something concentrated much more so than what you would typically feed). If you’re just making a non-concentrated (ready to feed) nutrient solution you can mix whatever you want, calcium chloride and epsom would be fine.

Nice, good to know, thanks :) Saves a bunch of money as well making your own!
