If your using r/o water then cal-mag every time you water. I would suggest going by ppm and not using recommended dosage. Lots of people have reported bottles of cal-mag that were double strength.

Why would you NOT add lime to your soil mix? If you lime it properly, you'll need to use CalMag less often, even using RO water....IMO anyway.

Is adding molasses to your water, in addition to adding lime to the soil, a sufficient substitute for cal-mag?

if its double strenth it says on the bottle "now double strength with trace minerals"...i use calmag about every 10-14days with regular tap water thats ph adjusted...the bottle says every use but i'd imagine thats with R/O water...i tried using it every water and burned a few girl so if u use it every watering as it recommends just becareful and maybe start half strength...can always add more but its a bitch to leach, flush, a big overdose of nutes

The "plus" is iron, B1. Botanicare's idea behind this is if yer addin extra cal an mag you need ta be adding iron as well, ta keep a balance in the micro nutes. If the balance is not right with anyone of the 3 these it will directly affect the uptake and use of the others, and that in turn will affect the uptake and use of -other- nutes. This why some folks plants look like there's several different deficiencies, there -is- per se, but more often than not it jus started from 1 er 2 things bein outa wack. Always flush good if ya been adding bottled nutes, additives, stimulators, etc... and go back with an -evenly- balanced fert ta get cha back on track...... About adding cal mag. It would depend on the soil ya start with and how hard yer water is. 2 of the six strains I run need extra cal mag plus, along with their regular nutes and hard water! They're jus pigs for exrta micro nutes. I add it every second ta third watering, it depends on what the leaves are tellin me. I do know micro nutes can build up in yer soil if ya go overboard, esp when yer feeding with balanced nutes to begin with. So keep yer eye out for signs.... I reckon I rambled enough.lol Good luck and take care... BCBurnOne said:
