I'm all Dyna-gro right now, so I use their mag-pro. Great line of goods.
Need some good advice for using Botanicare Cal-Mag plus

Yeah Homebrewer has a thread going where he's doing a side by side experiment with Dyna-gro vs General Hydroponics. From what I can tell he is likes what he see's. I'm almost out of my General Hydroponics nutes and was considering making the switch myself.
Peace.

Yes, don't use the molasses with sulfur. This is what you need or something like it https://jet.com/product/detail/1307a7e7e8004ef5a39fb6461a0e63ea?jcmp=pla:ggl:JD_cons_Cwin_Grocery_a3:Grocery_Cooking_Baking_Supplies_Sugar_Other_Sweeteners_a3:na:PLA_786123560_41411204592_pla-305444705253:na:na:na:2&code=PLA15&pid=kenshoo_int&c=786123560&is_retargeting=true&clickid=72f7f290-4615-4a53-9b04-24f7f0203df6

Yes 15ml per gal of molasses and Epsom salt

Epsom salt users - be aware that you still need to add calcium. Epsom salt does not contain calcium, like cal mag does (hence the name). I recommend epsom salt for soil, organic grows, because you can just add some lime (if your soil doesnt already have it) to get your calcium.

anyone ever foliar with epsom?or know the dosage to do so? i think i might be having a mg def that calmag is just not clearing up.my veg nutes contain cal so im not concerned about that.

If upping your cal mag still results in the deficiency getting worse, theres a good chance youre having ph problems.

couldnt it just be an mg problem? no sense to add more cal if i dont need it? could too much cal cause mg lock out?

run your pH above 6.1 for a few days and see what happens.
if not, a foliar of epsom should fix it ASAP

it's 1 gram per gallon when you add it to base nutes. not sure about foliar rates. probably at least half of that my guess.

found this for ya from different site
.
I foliar with epson.
Half hour before lights off is when I like to do it. Fine mist the whole plant and dont miss any. Be sure to get the bottoms of every leaf as that is where most of the stomata are located. I use 1/2 tsp to a gallon and add 1 drop non toxic dish soap as a wetting agaent.
Mist plant fully until all leaves are dripping.
