I would, because in an amended soil like Happy Frog, you'll be feeding so infrequently that you won't be able to keep up with the magnesium demands. I'd give calmag with every non-feed watering through the end of the stretch, and a mag sulfur supplement after that.Hello, I’m preparing my first full indoor grow and am going to be using happy frog soil with added perlite and advanced nutrients ph perfect grow, micro, bloom. For watering i’m planning on using store bought refillable RO water. Will I need to use additional Cal Mag in my waterings or will the advanced nutrients and soil take care of it for me?
How often would you recommend me feed with the grow micro bloom? Do I do one feed a week or something like every other water? I just purchased sensi cal mag by advanced nutrients will I need to use nutes from the start or will the happy frog have enough to support it through the first couple weeks?I would, because in an amended soil like Happy Frog, you'll be feeding so infrequently that you won't be able to keep up with the magnesium demands.

Okay thank you so should I use cal mag from the very beginning or wait a little to add?RO has nothing in it, so it’ll just strip whatever nutrients you have in your soil. I use RO water and regardless of my feedings, I give calmag until the last few weeks
Many growers rule of thumb is Feed nutrients every other watering. But determining when to start feeding and how much feed can be puzzling.How often would you recommend me feed with the grow micro bloom? Do I do one feed a week or something like every other water?

Thank you so much for the help, I’ll go ahead and try and use that rule of thumbMany growers rule of thumb is Feed nutrients every other watering. But determining when to start feeding and how much feed can be puzzling.
According to FoxFarms there is sufficient amounts of NPK to support 4 weeks of vegetative growth. The same recommendation is made for FoxFarms StrawBerryfields. After 4 weeks FoxFarms recommends beginning the feeding of Macro and Micro nutes. But then the question is : How much nutrients do I give the plant.
I use FoxFarm soil mixes Happy Frog (Veg) and FoxFarm StrawberryFields (Flower) and I adhere to that recommendation. I also use FoxFarms 3 part nutrients and the feeding amounts vary from plant to plant. Have you reviewed FoxFarms feeding recommendation charts ?
I also use Sensi CalMag. During vegetative stages I do not add CalMag to my HappyFrog soil mix. After transplanting into StrawBerryFields (5 gallon bucket) at on-set of flowering I begin to add 2mg CalMag per gallon with every watering and feeding. I've found that to work well for me during flowering.
Will do, since someone stated above that using RO water will strip the nutrients from my happy frog soil does that mean I need to add nutrients to the water every time?Make sure to check for light stress, incorrect ph levels and other factors before just going to calmag, some times the deficiency is from those things and not the nutrient itself
I add calmag to every watering.Will do, since someone stated above that using RO water will strip the nutrients from my happy frog soil does that mean I need to add nutrients to the water every time?
Okay thank you, if I were to use store bought spring water would I still need to use cal mag?I add calmag to every watering.
I use 50/50 mix of FF Happy Frog and Ocean Forest. I don’t start feeding nutrients until 4th week of waterings.
I feed nutrients every other feeding if I can water twice a week, otherwise I will feed nutrients every watering at half dosage if I’m watering once a week.
If you alternate your feedings or feeding nutrients everytime, if you’re using RO you MUST introduce calmag in every feeding until the last weeks of flower.
Yes spring water has calcium and magnesium, the exact levels would have to be tested to confirm if it’s enough, or if additional calmag will be needed depending on your stage of growthOkay thank you, if I were to use store bought spring water would I still need to use cal mag?
Okay thanks I got a bottle of AN Sensi Cal Mag coming on the way, I’m going to be using store bought spring water should I add a little cal mag every watering from germination?In place of calmag if you don’t have it already, a splash from some micronutrients to give the water a little ppm can do the same thing
If you’re using springwater and happy frog soil, I would think you’re all right for a little while at least.Okay thanks I got a bottle of AN Sensi Cal Mag coming on the way, I’m going to be using store bought spring water should I add a little cal mag every watering from germination?
Great, thankIf you’re using springwater and happy frog soil, I would think you’re all right for a little while at least.
Happy frog can be good as far as nutrients go but quality is up and down you’ll just have to see
Great, I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you so much for the help!If you’re using springwater and happy frog soil, I would think you’re all right for a little while at least.

You start flushing 3 weeks before harvest?RO has nothing in it, so it’ll just strip whatever nutrients you have in your soil. I use RO water and regardless of my feedings, I give calmag until the last few weeks
