Calmag in Clone Machine?

*sigh*

So i dropped about 20 clones in the EZ a couple days ago and got over-zealous by doing TOO much. A lil superthrive which isn't a concern but I thought they might like some cal mag too. So I prob dropped 100ml into the 15 gallon rez. The water is now somewhat cloudy and foamy. The clones themselves look fine..no signs of stress that wouldn't be normal. I'm just lookin for some feedback. Does my misstep warrant a whole res change or should I be alright?

Thats a lot for clones considering i never put anything in my clone water. I would change the res but thats just me.

i use plain water in my cloner. dont ph or anything.

i would think the calmag is unnecessary.

if you have botanicares calmag the directions say 5ml per gallon and 10ml per gallon for aggressive feeding. theyre only clones so 7.5ml a gallon is way more than needed for little plants anyway.

i use calmag at 5ml per gal. in veg and 10ml per gal in flower, thats it.

calmag supplements exist mostly to correct deficiencies from using RO water with certain nute regimens. it is also a flower hardener.

if i were to add anything to my cloner it would be a couple DROPS fo flowering nutes to help promote root growth.

I've always cloned with pure RO water and always got some yellow leaf, now that i started to mist them with very mild calmag in RO water they seems to stay greener than ever!

But maybe that's just me.
