Can't find liquid magnesium

Hey GWE. Happy Thanksgiving by the way. I'm continuing to struggle with plants that have their kind soil exhausted, and I'm working on adding what I need to back into the soil. I've started using Mega crop, and also as was suggested Epsom salts for magnesium. So now I have the cannabis grow bible here, loan to me by a friend, and this bro Bible says that granular magnesium is not what should be used because it's difficult for the plants roots to uptake it. It says use Liquid magnesium made for plants. So of course I look up one of the brands that they suggest and it's only sold in the UK. That said, when I go online to Amazon, I cannot find any products that is just liquid magnesium. Cal Mag is there, but do I want calcium and magnesium? I know a lot of you out there use Cal Mag to Green up your plants I've supposed, but is Cal Mag what I want? And I'm also looking for something that is organic. I think the bio Tana care is not organic. Please correct me if I'm wrong! So I'd like someone to chime in here, and I know it's Thanksgiving so I may have to wait a while...
 
Thanks Brother, I had to take a zanex, but at least, it takes your mind off of that other bullsh-t, it damn sure makes you groggy, as all get out.
Thanks for your concerns, an good luck with your grows.
Have a nice Thanksgiving, my brother.
 
Why are you just trying to add magnesium? There are many other elements and trace elements that the plant requires.
What about adding molasses? It has magnesium in it.
 
You can also read up on Mag-Amped by Cutting Edge Solutions. Has nothing but Mag and some Sulfur. I use Cal-Mag from the start up to the 3rd week of flower. After that, I start adding the Mag-Amped.
 
I've been watering with molasses at every other watering all along. Things wouldn't be so messed up if the kind soil hadn't run out of it's nutrition levels I think.
 
I'll look into that. The trouble here is that I'm not even a hundred percent sure that it's magnesium that is needed. The plant is weiwei pale especially after the two gallon flush with pH water. Since she dried out I watered her with a quarter teaspoon Mega crop, and a teaspoon of Epsom salts. I started this thread because I read in the marijuana grow bible that granular magnesium isn't what one should use on these plants. I feel like I'm walking around in the dark. I realize now that I should have probably gotten a few successful grows under my belt with regular soil, and photos not Autos. So now I've got photos and auto some in kind soil and some not now. Way too much going on and way over my head.
 
Yeah...I don’t use that hot soil stuff. Gives better control when you know what is going into the plant and when.
Question: if you are using the hot soil, and I assume you have followed the manufactures directions on usage and volume. How do you know the soil is depleted of its nutrients?
Because too much salt build up can cause nutrient lock out, and the plant will still show deficiency in its leaves in that case too.
Just trying to think outside the box here. Could you potentially be seeing a deficiency due to too much nutrient salt causing a lock out situation?
 
Toker, I know because the plant in question was supposed to have been an auto, which would have gone from seed to harvest in the time allotted for the soil. But this plant which were from a seed from Nirvana was is not an auto, it's a photo, and it is now over 5 months old. What all of its sisters in the group flowered And were harvested about the time I realized it is definitely not an auto. I repotted it into a 5-gallon cloth pot with kind soil. I moved it into the 12 12 room sometime ago. It's close to nearly five and a half months old now. This is the third time that I have run into plants that were supposed to be Autos but they are photos from seeds from Nirvana. I've also run into having ordered once particular strain for example ak48, and had 2 that are completely different. Anyway I'm juggling so many variables here. I'm just kicking myself like I said in an earlier post for not keeping it simpler. But when I get a plant that was supposed to be one thing and turns out to be another for a new grower that can be mind-boggling.
 
Ok. Makes sense. I think a regualr feed schedule might help. If you chose a liquid diet, the manufacturer will have a feed schedule available online.
If you follow it closely, that should clear up any deficiency assuming the PH is optimal due ring feeding.
 
Well then here is another issue for me then. On recommendations from other members here on gwe, I got Mega crop. Which really sounds good to me but what do I know right? The fee schedule is like reading a foreign language because I don't know millimeters or whatever I only know teaspoons and tablespoons. So I've gotten understandable instructions from a trusted member here, at a quarter teaspoon per gallon. And then to go up from there. So where I stand right now is that this poor girl is in the 12 12 room, very pale green, and has had one watering with mega crop since I flushed her with two gallons of pH water at 6.2. She does not look any better. I don't know the time frame of when they're supposed to look like they're bouncing back. If she would have bounced back it would be really great because she has so many colas, which for me is nowhere near what you guys do but more than I've ever done.
 
A unit conversion app might be good to have for those issues with measurements.
Mega crop says use from start to finish. I am suspicious of this claim because you need different amounts of n-p-k for the different phases of plant life cycle. How do they make claims such as these? By not including the mj plant in their study. This claim could be true for other plants... but not for mj (usually the case with claims like this).
Check out most feed schedules available online... they usually consist of a 3 part base formula feed that you mix in different ratios to cater to the different phases of plant’s development.
Check this out. I use fox farm nutrients. This schedule (linked below) is what I use to ensure the plant is receiving the proper amount of elements necessary for the mj plant’s balanced diet at the proper moment of the plant’s life cycle.

Toker, being suspicious of this claim almost Falls in line with being suspicious of the claims with super soil such as kind soil that are supposed to feed a plant from start to finish. And this is supposed to include photos. Which take longer. And that's the trouble that I've run into here. The auto seem to be okay although my yield is nothing like you guys yet, but I'm working on all that. But the plants that have turned out to be photos have run out of the nutrients. Sohum in the slow process of repotting them into larger gallon cloth pots and giving them Mega crop. Again I feed them molasses a tablespoon every other watering, and recharge every other watering. But things aren't really looking up. My temps are between 75 and 79 to 80. My humidity is 35 to 45. I have fans. I have a 6 in exhaust carbon filter. Iph every single watering.
 
Disagreed about the kind soil which, I am almost certain, has time released elements. The liquid feed is more direct. No time release.
 
Clarify this for me here. You disagree with using kind soil and R Pro with using nutrients? I'm confused by your response. Sorry been a long day.
