Im going to start an autoflower and want to know how much calmag should i add to a gallon of water that will be used to water my plant? The plants will be in 3 gal pots. Im also a bit confused on how much water i should give my plant when watering. Should i use an entire gallon or should i use just enough to moisten the soil?
Distilled watee, how much calmag?

Read the label... as far as how much I would say about 3/4 gallon. I give my 5 gallon pots a full gallon every 2 day's.
Thank you for the reply. Ill try that

Wouldn't your soil mix have something to do with how often you water? Some hold water longer than others, just saying you MAY need to adjust accordingly.

Each company puts the dose on the package. I'd go with what the companies tell you On their packaging

I have used a number of different nutes, all, fail to provide sufficient CaMg when hi-intensity leds are used. The tell is purple leaf stems that go away when sufficient CaMg is added

are you growing under COBS,, or HPS/MH bulbs,,, that makes a differance also

the correct answer is, DO NOT USE DISTILLED WATER, r/o water is ok, but not distilled. Then use a good enough nutrient that you don't need to add cal/mag

WTF? Do you know anything about pure water? RO is simply an alternative method of getting pure water

the fuck is that distilled will strip the nutes from the soil, I have seen it numerous times. But you go ahead and tell us how much you know about water,lol

Either pure RO (mine is < 8ppm) or distilled (similar ppm) would strip a plant of nutrients, BUT, either are the prefect base to add nutrients
If you're dumb enough to not realize that, then...

oh hey, seeing as you're such a genius that you buy your medicine at petsmart, how many charged particles are there in r/o water and how many are in distilled? how many are positive and how many are negative? thanks genius!!!

yeah, that's why distilled is called DE_IONIZED water and r/o is not. soil works on charged ions, and he calls ME dumb,lol
