Hi all, I wonder if cannabis can suffer from too much Cal-Mag. With nutrients, plants will show if too much is given with nuteburn, I wonder if excess of Cal-Mag would affect the plant or if the plant simply takes what it needs and let the surplus aside. I am starting to put 1ml per liter of watering solution, as indicated on the CaliMagic I got from General Hydroponics. I also added Dolomic Lime to my coco medium when I prepared it. Am I safe to put the Cal-Mag supplement? I am ending week 4 of flowering for my photo indica, and at week 4 also with started auto, expecting to collect buds in about 10 weeks. Thank you for the advises!

Are your plants indicating a need for Cal-mag? Generally speaking, and according to Nebula's tutorials on nutrients, you can't add too much cal-mag. However, your addition of Lime initially to the coco may change the chemical structure so it is difficult to say for sure. I doubt it would hurt but as You are guessing, so am I. Hopefully someone else may have more knowledge of soil chemistry.Grow # 3 50/50 S/I Critical Mass photo fem

An excess of a nutrient can cause lockout of other nutrients. I sometimes add cal-mag when fertilizing but I grow in nutrient rich soils and much of the nutrient need is already there. I thought I read somewhere that an excess of calcium can cause nitrogen lockout but I can't confirm that now.Comment

What PeterMatanzas said. I grow in coco and I had the same thought but my research led to the understanding about the lockout problem.
Make sure you rinse your coco in cal mag enriched water prior to using.2X4X6 Quictent
