Sorry everyone if this is in the wrong section... I wasnt sure wether to post in organics or nutrients... i grow in coco and have always used general hydros calmag.... recently i got stoned and accidently bought the general Organics calmag... looks like used motor oil kind of lol... but anyway I always used 5ml/Gallon of the synthetic... i started using the organic because i bought it and figured its cal mag its all the same... but now my plants are ALOT darker... They look very similar to when i ran the same strain in super soil... Can anyone else attest to organic calmag being that much better?

Synthetic cal mag supplements will destroy microbe colonies that's for sure.... So if you garden with a synthetic regimen, than it doesn't matter as much; if you use more organics, than stick with general organics product or a combination of Epsom salts and oster shell in your soil.

I had no idea the synthetics were killing my beneficials... Does it affect the synthetic versions of the microbes? like cana rhizo/zyme? Thanks for the reply man

There are no "synthetic microbes" if that is what you are asking.
Its either organics OR chems, no inbetween, sorry hun!
Cana is made from plant based products, non synthetic.
I think you should read more about organics, there are many good stickies i think you should read!

I think i worded that wrong, sorry. I ammend my coco with greatwhite when i xplant up from 1gal to 7... is the synthetic calmag killing the myco in that? is it counter acting the rhizo/zyme im putting in as well if it kills microbials....

Enzymes and products like enzymes work with both synthetic and organic regimens. Enzymes break down dead root matter; further activating nutrients that have been locked on the soil. They also create new roots in place aiding in better nutrient uptake and much more....
