FloraMax Ca-Mg-Fe Ca-Mg-Fe prevents plant nutrient deficiency symptoms, especially where “high pH” waters are used or when nutrient solutions are subject to volatile changes in pH and EC. Ca-Mg-Fe helps prevent or cure leaf yellowing, leaf curl, stunted growth, withered fruit-set and bud rot. Unlike other cal-mags, Ca-Mg-Fe also contains the full spectrum* of trace elements: Many base nutrient formulations are deficient in trace elements. Most nutrient deficiencies are in fact due to trace elements. Many trace element species destabilize when subjected to hard or “high-pH” water however, Ca-Mg-Fe contains alkaline-resistant compounds that cope with pH levels up to 10.*Iron, copper, manganese, zinc, molybdenum and boron Ca-Mg-Fe is 100% compatible with all liquid or powdered base nutrients that are deficient in cal-mag or essential trace elements. Available in larger pack sizes – 1L, 5L, 20L, 220L and 1,000L – suitable for large scale commercial applications. Dosage: 1-2ml/L (4-7.5ml/Gal) during veg and flower. NOTE: Avoid using Ca-Mg-Fe with VegaFlora A+B or Veg-1 as these elements are already included and an excess will likely cause complications. When using FloraMax, do I need a “cal-mag”? No, the FloraMax line is designed to eliminate the requirement for additional “cal-mag” additives as its built into our base nutrients and Flowering Enhancer product. Over hundreds of test grows during the development phase there was never any need for a dedicated cal-mag additive. Furthermore, use of additional “cal-mag” may result in excessive calcium precipitate leading to clogged lines or build-up in the reservoir. Why then does FloraMax manufacture a “cal-mag”? To address the deficiencies found in competing brands. We are committed to helping growers achieve their best results regardless of the nutrient regime they follow, our Ca-Mg-Fe product is ideal for use with other regimes. Nutrient deficiencies? Over 90% of the “alleged” deficiency incidents that we have responded to (with FloraMax), the grower has not followed the chart. For example, the plants are in week-4 veg but are still being fed the week-2 veg schedule. Why? Sometimes growers are hesitant to advance the schedule to successive weeks. High pH and humidity, and under-watering are other common causes. If this is not the case and the nutrient solution is in fact truly deficient under the given conditions, employ Ca-Mg-Fe at 0.5ml/L (2ml/Gal). If that fails to fix the problem within 1-week, increase its usage rate to 1ml/L (4ml/Gal). If that fails then the issue is probably not due to cal-mag or trace elements (Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Mo or B). NOTE: If the nutrient solution is deficient, Ca-Mg-Fe is the most effective way of rectifying the issue. Increasing EC by increasing the base nutrient dose is a common remedy, however, the most likely elements to be deficient in ‘most’ nutrient solutions are those contained within Ca-Mg-Fe – and is therefore why we recommend it for this purpose. Can cal-mag additives or base nutrients be used as foliar sprays? These are NOT recommended for use as foliar sprays. Firstly, the calcium in cal-mag additives (and base nutrients) will cause white staining on the surface of foliage. During daylight (lights-on), this can hinder photosynthesis and cause burning of foliage (aka “necrosis”). Also, the nutrient species used in cal-mags or base nutrients are not ideally suited for uptake via stomata. For maximum uptake and efficacy, it is best to use a specialized foliar spray such as FloraMax Clone Spray. This can be used for seedlings and clones, then throughout veg and in early bloom through to about week 3 or 4 – but generally not later than this. The ingredients in Clone Spray are designed for maximum uptake via stomata and will impart the necessary benefits desired from a foliar spray e.g. improved foliage growth, increased number and quality of bud sites, improved plant structure and increased root mass.
