hey guys, i didnt know where to post this so i figured this would be a good place.
so i have two types of flowering food:
schultz - orchid food


miracle gro - bloom booster



both dont have calcium and magnesium....

dont use that crap....what have you been using for veg?

in the future use proper organic soiless material such as fox farm and get the general organics go box..35 bucks everything you need start to finish for a grow and a half about

oh jeez, looking on my veg nutes they dont have calcium or magnesium either..
im really surprised i havent had any problems!
so i just flipped to flowering and was wondering how much epsom salts to use in 1gallon?
also what about calcium?
should i just go get calmag?

they are likely missing alot of micro nutes not just cal. and mag. those are not proper choices for growing good cannabis

stop worrying about one little thing..cal mag...when you have not been feeding a quality regimen from the start that one thing is not your main worry....what did you feed in veg?? do not use chemical generic ish nutes like mg and schultz...i would if i were you order a kit called the technaflora starter kit because you cannot switch to an organic grow at this point if you did not use organic nutes at the beginning..follow the easy instructions in the box geared toward the marijuana plant and stop uising the other garbage!

ill do all that shit next time dude.
im limited in what i can use right now.
maybe ill just go ask the hydroponics shop guy what i should do..
i dont need to be told what not to do..
i have what i have, my plants are doing fine.
and epsom salt in my spray bottle* not with my nutes. so they soak up the mag?

lmao ok im not telling you what not to do to be a dick im telling you so you know and i did offer a solution and its not going to be free sorry...discontinue use of that crap, you spend the 30 bucks on the kit, you do the flowering cycle right, you will be rewarded its simple as that man. ...ya go ask the hydro guy what to do so he can tell you the same as me and charge double than if you buy it online and if you go in looking for cal mag, im sure he will sell it to ya and tell you oh ya that will help and he wont be lying but the fact is that you need more than that..dont spray your plant with epsom salts...your making a common beginner mistake, trying too hard..just get the basics down good dirt, good water, good nutes, good genetics and proper room conditions (temp is the biggest) then you dont need to worry about ph EVER or play with salt or lime or any of that crap. im being edgy with you now because of your reaction to me taking my time to help you so sorry about that but regardless to my attitude either listen or dont but know this, its the best choice and btw pot plants will always look like they are doing fine when they are growing even in an 86 degree room fully seeded and overfed the plant will look great but upon drying the bud you realize you grew crap..trust me man do it right or save your money and go buy a fat bag..

I run amended FFOF soil and the technaflora recipe for success nute kit. I don't use veg nutes until week 6/7, as the FFOF soil is rich enough until then. im 4-5 weeks into flower and are now using 100% strength nutes and my girls are loving it. im also adding a bud/resin enhancer also from now on 1x a week. I likes the technaflora kit so much I dropped 200.00 on large bottles of flowering nutes, (boost, bloom, magical, awesome blossoms, thrive alive red, sugar daddy).
