Hello to all

Is my fist time aereo, I usually grow in super soil and this is my first experience but I'm having some problems.

I use Amazon nutriculture with CellMax nutrients before and now Lucas formula with GHE , I have mg and ca deficency , I add some MgO from Bionova and also CalMg from Vitalink , but seems don't work.

How much time need to restore an mg/ca deficency in aereo? How I have to do use the lucas formula in this phase of deficency?

For now I use the full dose of bloom and 1/4 dose of micro and 1ml/l of cal mag and 0.5ml/l of MgO but I don't know if was a good idea.

Need some help
Thank you for your time

Drop all the extra crap and use the GH nutrients with their Cali magic how its supposed to be used including the GRO. Do this and I guarantee everything will straighten right out.
Follow this chart exactly and things will improve.

Unless your using RO you shouldnt need additional calmag with GH, i`d be looking for a different cause. PH, root temperature etc. The standard Amazon uses four 360 degree rotating spinners which drench the roots so dont rule out overwatering unless you have added your own timer ;)

I use lucas formula and i use crap nutrients because the shop don't have GH but lucky I find it but the deficency just start. If u know lucas formula u know that your chart isn't correct for my problem.

With r.o water u need cal mg also if u use gh because there is too low amount in the micro specially if u have a deficency.

GH micro contains 5% Ca, Vitalink calmag contains 2.86% Ca. If you are using both, the cause of the issue is not due to a lack of Calcium ;)

I use vitalink calmag while epson salt arrive, I hope all this Ca ins't a problem they was in deficency so..

I cut the micro because of high N that can be a problem if u need Mg. How many day plant restore a deficency in Hydro/Aereo?

when you cut the micro to 1/4 dose, you also cut the Ca along with the N.

Lucas is better for bloom in my opinion.

i like 1:1:1 ratio of M/G/B for veg better

and to fix a Mg deficiency, the best and fastest way is a foliar spay of epsom salts.

The Lucas formula was designed for use with RO water which has no elemental content. Calmag isnt part of the Lucas formula because the micro provides all the Ca thats required.
Cutting the micro doesnt just reduce the N, it also affects K, Ca, Fe and all the micro`s ;)

U are right, I use cal mg because I see deficency and I also have N over so I can't give N to them.

Now I have a new problem probably a K lockout and I really don't know what to do and how to fix it
