10mls is too much if your using it frequently

heres the thing

your not calcium def

your magnesium def

calcium and magnesium compete within the plant for absorption
raise the calcium lower the magnesium uptake

calmag has more calcium than magnesium so adding more might make it worse

I would keep using the calmag at maybe 5mls per gallon with nutes every other watering and also add 1 gram of Epsom salt per gallon to up your magnesium

I am using the 3 part base Grow, Micro, Bloom
and also the Vitablue, Liquid seaweed,for Vegging.
Then I added Earlybloomer, at 12/12 flip and Liquid Blue at the second week of flower
During veg i started out 1/2 strength, then slowly got to full strength and on flower I have been on full strength ever since the 12/12 flip
also using cal mag from Blue Planet

do you mean 1 teaspoon, 1 tablespoon, or 1 gram?
If its a gram, what does that equal to as far as teaspoon or similar measurement? Dont have any scales that weigh a gram

no I meant
are you using phosphoric acid? did you buy ph down from the hydro store?

I don't want to see the feed chart my friend

I want to see the list of elements
for example
nitrogen ..........3%
phosphorus .....1%
potassium.........7%
calcium ..........1%
magnesium .......1%

for each bottle

Thank you Budman!
What should i up the dosage to?
10 ml per gallon and should i use it everytime i water or feed with nutes??
Do you think i should spray some on the leaves at night and at what dosage should i use for spraying the leaves??
Click to expand...
Foliar feed just once, usually about 2ml/L only to get a quick feeding as calcium is extremely slow moving in the plant , and feed at the recommended dosage on the bottle every feeding.

I was wondering if you have found out anything. I gave you pics of all the labels with all the info you asked for and I never heard back from you. Can you please take a look at the labels I sent you and see what you think. The girls are asleep now but when I send you new pictures tommorrow you are gonna shit! I have done exactly what you suggested but the leaves have gotten worse and some of them are actually a little crunchy on the ends. I will be sending you the new pics in the morning cause something is not right regarding the diagnoses of the magnesium def
Please take a look at those labels for me!!

I think you have a Boron deficiency im no expert but thats my 2 cents worth that or your plants may need one of these keeping them company.
