what is a good substitute for cal mag?
thanks sir. grorite,could use some lime
wait, so i need both?Epsom salts is what you want.
alright thank you!Epsom salt is mag. lime has cal and mag
alright thanks sir!you can top dress with lime but it will take a little bit to take affect its better to mix it into the soil before you plant
Epsom salt, also called English salt (as its from surrey in England) is magnesium sulfate and will provide your plant with both Mg and sulfate, both important
my LSD strain is a Mg loveing strain, so I use a good amount of Epsom salt in my grow, I use it in the clean water in between nuts so to speak, a ts. per gallon of water
the Lime you want to look for is dolomite lime (or Mearl = Oceanic lime) as its fast absorbent but the Lime/mearl will mostly provide Calcium and some Mg/trace elements, so if its calcium you what, your looking for Lime (also good to keep PH neutral/ get it up if needed) if its magnesium its the Epsom salt your looking for
it just mixed up a bit Bc. many use the Ca/Mg bottle that contain both
I dont need the calcium that much (I got the mearl tho) as my tap contain plenty and I have some good soil, but the Mg they cant live with out
if I use the Mearl/Lime I use it in flowering, top dress with a few ts and water
thank you again sir slipon!
