I’ve tried that. I tried to add 100ml to a 55 gallon drum and then I started seeing rust spots on leaves. I now add 1ml per gallon ( which is 55ml)
this again is a mag deff sign/symptom, early stages you can use more cal/mag {these two nutes go hand in hand when it comes to growing, the magnesium allows the plant to absorbe calcium}

I don’t understand. Adding more cal mag seem to cause issues. When I added 100ml when I was in flower, the leaves started to yellow and have black dots, almost resembling a banana lol

I'm not sure I'd describe it as waxy but when plants are healthy and growing fast they take on a glossy/lush look that I associate with good health.

So I switched nutrients to dynagrow and the issue basically got resolved with a few leaves here and there they are glossy looking. I water every 3 hours now and I might even increase it to every 2 hours. Could this maybe help? I use hydroton as my medium but I wonder if feeding every 2 hours is too much
