@reza92 imagine if Slownickel read this lol

Posting Molders chart as your proof that Ca causes lockout shows how little you understand about balancing minerals in soil. What the chart shows is the effect each cation or anion has on the uptake of another, to end up with deficiency you must be low in that particular element in the first place. You're also not taking into account the fact that Ca and B together are responsible for driving nutrients to where they are needed inside the plants structure.

Either way I must thank you for the good old laugh I got from your post, best one I've had all week
Cheers
It's actually Mulder's chart, but you were close.

Honestly I think slow would get a good laugh before delivering some real schooling. I’m definitely a convert to the “pump that fucking calcium” train.

I went to my local hardware store to buy some 19mm Tees and 90° bends for a manifold. They have a massive stack of potting soil, sugar cane mulch and coco mix out the front (inside a fenced yard, fyi).
I wonder if people buying the coco mix know that they will need to feed a coco nutrient?

Depends which kind of coco? I know bunnings stock a hydroponic grade bagged in 30L, they also stock potting mixes from coco with added fertilliser.

The cheap blocks are also sold as a soil amendment not a potting mix as well.

Most coco based potting mixes are premium grade so by law must contain a minimum amount of nutrients, so they'd be alright for a while depending on what your growing. Most plants people are putting into bagged potting mixes aren't being pushed as hard as we do with weed so in the majority of cases I don't think it would be necessary to use a Coco specific nutrient.
