Cal/mag first always seems to help with pH stability in the reservoirs from what I've experienced
r/o soft and tap/hard are ph adjusted formulas. You shouldn’t see to much swing with out it.Cal/mag first always seems to help with pH stability in the reservoirs from what I've experienced
Here's a very simple chart I picked up somewhere along the way, it shows what the plant is needing when. Of course, anything like this should only be used as a basic guideline, none of these types of charts are going to be accurate for every strain.

Obviously the first section is veg and the second flower. Good luck!
I second this, both phosphorus and potassium are essential in vegetative growth along with your secondary and micronutrients. I'd be careful with that chart you have over thereI'm not sure I understand this chart - All macronutrients are required at all stages of growth.
I believe the idea is peak usage, when these nutrients are most needed by the plant. I can't quite remember the exact context of the article I took it from other than it simply being what you see there.I'm not sure I understand this chart - All macronutrients are required at all stages of growth.

There were plenty of times earlier on in my growing when I would start a plant in nothing but Pro-Mix and a little EWC and I gave them nothing but water until they went into flower and most of the time they were very healthy doing it that way. Of course, as time goes on and you get into it more and more you always do more and more it seems, instead of sticking with the KISS method.
To say that ALL of them are required at ALL stages of growth doesn't quite ring true for me either. But hey, I never claimed to be a master grower either, like so many seem to do these days.
Are you using tap or RO? It makes a huuuuuge difference in this context.
Reverse osmosisApologies for my ignorance but could you tell me what RO water is?
Stupidity again on my part—what brand of nutes are you using?Hey guys just wanted to guage how other hydro growers use cal-mag in flower. Im in promix hp cc (coco) with a top feed 3x daily DTW using Veg+Bloom. Iv been recently cutting off their cal-mag at week 3 of flower due to the added nitrogen and iv found it helps my nug structure and overall bud quality. When i cut the cal-mag off is also when i start adding Shine (pk boost) to the res. Any thoughts or other methods people want to share?
Oh cool!!!!!Reverse osmosis
We always just set tap water out overnight—blindly trusting evaporation.Oh cool!!!!!
I'm only recently using Veg+Bloom, RO/soft as well. Where a lot of nutrient lines have necessary amounts of Cal/Mag built in, V+B is designed for the user to "structure" the water with CM or Stackswell prior to base and additives. I'm by no means an expert but that sounds scary to me.Hey guys just wanted to guage how other hydro growers use cal-mag in flower.
