Mills CalMag is an additional supplement that may be useful for those living in soft water areas or if you are using reverse osmosis water. Using water from these sources could mean your plants will lack a decent supply of calcium and magnesium. Both of these elements usually come from the water in hard water areas. Many growers find that using coco coir find they need a boost in these elements when plants are growing quickly. This is due to the natural properties of the media, containing no usable minerals.
Mills CalMag hardens soft water and fills in the deficit in the nutrient profile. It raises the EC of your water to the correct range so that when you add your nutrition, you’ll have a balanced plant feed that will give plants everything they need to thrive and be healthy.
