Great thread
Dissolvine calcium 9.7%, chelated calcium, no other elements in it.
one gram of the calcium edta 9.7% in one gallon final volume of solution gets you about 25ppm Ca.
I have used it, and the rate depends on what level of calcium i am trying to achieve. I just use it to reach my targets, after the calcium from the calcium nitrate or other sources fall short of the target. Currently I have been targeting my calcium to be nearly even with my potassium, some where around 175-225 ppm in the working solution.
For foliar calcium, i prefer calcium chloride, because of its point of delequesence, and/or an amino chleated calcium like Biomin calcium. I choose between those two depending on whether or not i want/need extra nitrogen, as the amino chelates all bring nitrogen with them.
I got the chelated from custom hydro nutes. I don't want to monkey with a good nute line but I'm considering very modest additional supplementationCalcium only?
Calcium Hydroxide. CaOH. Also called Slaked Lime or Hydrated Lime.
It has a low solubility but it's more than enough to provide you with plenty calcium in solution. Also, it's very basic. So, it's probably better used a pH up additive than a calcium additive. It's also really freaking cheap.
Chelated Calcium is another choice and has a lower effect on your pH, but it's much more expensive.
Excellent thinking. I'm considering how to emulate NftG ... but I don't want to throw calcium out of whack with magnesium in coco. Afraid I might fck that upAnyone ever use Xtreme CalCarb? Its a calcium only foliar spray, 31% calcium. It comes in powder form and you mix 1-2 tsp per quart. For flowering plants you spray focused pop-shots on the underside of the outer most leaves and only apply to 6-12 leaves. Avoid friuts and flowering bodies. Looks like vegging plants you just spray all over.
I'm going to give it a try as my Mambo x headband (Jerriatric) is looking a little calcium difficient.
Gotta disagree, all of those come with a carbonate molecule attached. Gypsum is better than these unless you really seriously need major buffering.Calcite , Oystershells crushed , egg shells crushed

Probably smells like back, but I do bone meal for sure. You get P in the deal too.N4tGods liquid bone meal?
