I made feed earlier for 1 plant, but didn't end up using the whole 5 gallon bucket. I mixed up another bucket later for my other 2 plants but added a little calmag. My question is can I mix both buckets together or would that cause a lockout?

Is it the calmag you're concerned about mixing?

I think it'll be OK based on my nutrient recommending adding calmag to the nutrient mixture not the water.

I'd mix a cupful anyway, you'll soon see if there's precipitation of nutrients but I think it's unlikely.

Since you're supposed to add nutrients to water in a certain order, I'm concerned about dumping one mixture into another. (1 bucket into the other)
I'm wondering would that cause a problem

After it's diluted there's no problem mixing one batch of nutrient with another of the same brand.

some plant foods are sold in differant bottles because they react with each other in long term storage, but short term like what your sugesting doing is fine

some nutes require an order of nutes because calcium will bind and make something plant cant take but after you make it doesnt matter you can put one in the other.i grow in hydro with masterblend and i allways top up the plants.
