House and Garden coco problems in veg

[roasthawg]

Theres a big difference between a tsp and a tbsp... lol
Ive actually had H&G tell me that its designed for soft tap water, and adding 150ppm of calmag to the water will prevent deficiencies. But these guys also want you to use shit like N boost and amino treatment, so fuck them.

Ive never noticed obvious cal deficiencies feeding near normal strength, but some extra mag here and there keeps them much greener, without that dark, too much N look.
If you add cal, dont go overboard. Some people cause lockouts and end up using like 10ml/gal, chasing their tales.

This describes my situation to a tee right here! Called hg and they said to add calmag til water was 150ppm. Still had lockouts... steadily upped base nute until 9-10ml/g. Just found out my coco is ammended with cal.... probably the issue!

What do you add for mag... just plain epsom? What strength do you mix the base at in veg and flower... 5m/g veg and 7.5 m/g flower seem to be general guidelines. Thanks.

I try to follow their feed chart, but just back off a bit on the EC by adding back extra water, and I skip the additives.
I try to use molasses once a week.
I used to brew up a tea, but Im so fucking high all the time I dont even do that anymore.
Theres some EWC in my coco, though.
Epsom is probably the best choice for mag.
Most coco is actually buffered with some cal.
Your runoff numbers were nuts though.

Thanks man. Gonna give plain water for a bit then start feeding at 5m/g and see how they like it. No mas cal mag... probably cutoff all the additives until week 4 then start in with the bud xl and the pk boosters after that. See how that works. Thanks again for the help!

Should also be some mg in the budxl. Its kind of a carb supplement.
