just received my cal mag from botanicare products...wondering how to use it..says one teaspoon....this is obviously something you use during vedge.....and can i add it to a regular dose of bio bizz, with micro blast or algamic??

i purchased cal mag because ive seen lots of you pros use it and the label basically got me....preventing interveinal chlorosis, prevents dry and withered flowered fruit set, blossom end rot(WTF?), everything but that last part sounds great im in !

thanks amigo....i recently bought all these prodsucts im weary of throwing them all in the mix......i dont have an ec/tds meter so its hard to say how much stuff is enough

i currently have

bio biz - grow, bloom, alga-mic,topmax
earth juice- micro blast
maxicrop-liquified seaweed
botanicare-cal/mag plus
canna-grow/bloom...rhyzotonic

ocean forest soil

160z cups-6x9 inch pots, to 3.5 gallon pots - 5 gallon paint buckets if needed

what im basically asking is when i feed during vedge ill be using BIO BIZZ grow, in conjunction with alga -mic and microblast......small doses.....can i also safely add cal mag in teaspoon or half teaspoon doses without over doing it?

hey, i dont use a ppm meter either but i use FoxFarms Grow Big only with the cal mag and liquid karma for Veg. i only hit them a few times with ferts in veg. you should be good with the 3.5 gallon pots. five thats alot of soil. i go from plugs to 32 oz cups to 1.5 gallon to 3.5 gallons. later

I run the Pure Blend Pro veg and bloom, Liquid Karma, Cal-Mag, and Bio Bizz top max this last grow and it kicked

I'm hydro though and I do not know how much carries over to soil.

I use the cal-mag all the way through veg and bloom but I use ppm meters to regulate and have no idea of amounts I use. A tablespoon per gallon sounds about right

Sorry, maybe I don't have much to add
