Hi. Sorry for long silence. Been absent in a cave
Here is what i found after a week of searching and talking to various people at various places All though CalMag has N in it, as a nutrient it is still very beneficial to plants at any stage. I decided not to cut it out of my regiment completley. I continue to use it as recommended.
I learned that Epsom Salt in coco brings many benefits, especially if you have Mag looking deffitiency. I also wanted to see an effect of salt in my particular situation, so I started adding 50mg of that to my 55 gallon tank.
The results were pleasant. Almost overnight, salt did what it does and signes of diffitiencies started dissapearing quickly.
What I have right now is, no purple stems, still purple stalks on the old leaves. New leaves stalks are green. 100 percent of leaves looks green and normal. A lot of them are perky and looking up. But some 20 percent still display a slight curl downward, but they still look healthy. Today is a 13th day of bloom and bud development seems to be a bit ahead of schedule.
Seems that if I will continue with exactly the same thing, this grow will be just as good as the last.
But most importantly, I don't feel that something may go wrong any day. Which is how I felt when I started with coco for the first time.
The garden gives me strong and happy sence that things are progressing as good as they can be.
BTW, I will recommend using Bud Blood in the first week of bloom. You easily see the difference.
Thats a clear sign of way too much N.
How adding more fixes anything? I dont know...
If you continue to add cal once the cal cation is filled by the coco your problems will just snowball, locking out more and more mag and other competing cations.
Adding more mag just compounds the problems and pushes us higher off the chart.
If none of this makes sense to you, I suggest you just start taking the advice from others that you asked for advice from.
By looking at the chart we can see that there there is no benefit to giving a plant more than it needs.
In fact there is a huge drop off of efficiency when we burn our plants with too much.
Right now you are on the wrong end of this chart... Or off the wrong end is a better way of putting it.
You need to back way off - from D back to B
If youre worried about difitchenticities then atleast back off to "C" because you are off the chart right now or your plants wouldnt be curling
This is your first grow in coco, your plants are burned and you are able to recommend that you can easily see the difference because of using bud blood?
Thats a ridiculous statement! Holy shit! But Ill get right on it because of your recommendation!
Good luck!
