Cal/mag at home
Fellow grower that does all his grow 100% organic gave me a good tip to make your own cal mag . I found beaver and crow skull and bones in the woods he says to cool them up , best on a barbecue, cook till black, crush up and add brown rice vinegar. Wait till the bubbles stop and add to water at 500:1

We can get swept away by our thoughts,,or learn to step back and see them with clarity.
Easy to forget its a choice

Or, you could just add dolomite lime. :D
Never give advice. Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.

Did I get the right stuff? I’ve never used it so not sure what to mix up or when is right time to apply? I’ve always feed at soil level

Re: Cal/mag at home
Hi mate,
Over here, there's garden lime and Dolomite lime. It's best to use Dolomite lime as the calmag ratios are closer to what's needed than garden lime.
That should be okay, but I'd be happier seeing a label that said Dolomite.
I use one heaped tablespoon per 5 litres.
I hope that helps.

Re: Cal/mag at home
You add it to the soil at least a month in advance. It has to stabilize first.Wizardsbrew wrote: ↑Sun Jul 01, 2018 11:26 pmVery , one more though , do I spray just during veg or continue into flower?The Aspie Toker wrote:Hi mate,

I measure 5 litres of soil, I then mix it into the soil, then moisten. If you moisten first, it will clump together.
Once a month has passed, it's good to use and you shouldn't have any calmag issues for the whole grow.
