I grow hydro ebb and flow with hydroton. I run the advanced nutrients micro bloom grow three part. I use R.O. water and add cal-mag or cali-magic into my reservoir's before adding anything else to them. I use anywhere from 1ml cal-mag/gal to 2ml cal-mag/gal. am always seemingly always running into the dreaded claw. Tips of fans leaves curling down and clawing out, sometimes more severely than other times. I run my vg at 1000 ppm on the x70 scale and in flower go from 1000 ppm- 1330 ppm on the x70 scale. What is causing the fucking claw? Too much nutrients in general? Or just too much cal-mag? I seem to notice that it happens more when i add lots of cal-mag. So is the fucking claw related to the cal-mag or related to some other problem like the nutrient ppm level being too high? I dont understand how anyone can be on these forums and say that they add 5ml/gal cal-mag to thier r.o. water or to thier plants in general. If i add more than 2ml/gal of cali-magic to a pure r.o. water reservoir with a starting ppm of 0 it takes the ppm to like 400+. That has to be to much cal-mag. I saw on another post people saying you should add 50-100 ppm cal-mag back to your r.o. water. But i seem to run into the fucking claw when i even come close to 100 ppm cal-mag. maybe i just suck. thanks in advance for the input and advice
