CALMAG IS NOT A THING

Salt is a scientific term. Doesn't matter what manufacturers call it, scientifically it's a salt.
What does science have to do with anything? This is a cannabis site. :mrgreen:

Waiting for someone to report back and say it's not salt after they taste it and discover it's bitter as hell and tastes like shit. It's not toxic but it will give you the runs and is used as a laxative.

Using Epsom salt for constipation. Consuming Epsom salt increases the amount of water in your intestines, which softens your stool and makes it easier to pass. ... For adults and children 12 years old and older, dissolve 2 to 4 level teaspoons of Epsom salt in 8 ounces of water and drink the mixture immediately.

After a person uses Epsom salt for constipation, they will usually have a bowel movement in 30 minutes to 6 hours.

Some make growing mj easy some complicated as hell. One makes calmag a thing the other doesn't.

There's always two types.

Nutrient companies sell the products that gave them the best responses in plant trials...unless they just copy a competitor....but just because that's the best nutrient combo they found doesn't mean it's best for the plant.

Calcium is a very slow moving nutrient in the plant. Feeding a plant calcium nitrate is shooting oneself in the foot. The fast growth from all the nitrate guarantees the calcium cannot keep up. Calcium is in every cell wall of the plant. Nitrate growth causes the tissues to fill with water instead of calcium.

Magnesium can actually lower nitrate levels in the plant. I think the addition of magnesium to cal nit is a hedge against all the nitrate, and adding the magnesium happens to produce a better plant response, hence calmag. Besides, when it comes to soil growing and soil chemistry, the ideal ca:mg ratio is 8:1, not 3:1 like in calmag....or maybe it's 2:1. I forget. I've never used calmag.

Btw, boron is essential for proper calcium uptake, so I use cal-boro.

Edit: I way over-generalized by writing every formulation of calmag has cal nit in it. Most of what I wrote is true though lol. Figure it out for yourself.:wink:
