Depends what stage of the grow you are at and if you have cal/mag def yet.
I personally don't buy any of the cal/mag feeds. I use a combination of crushed eggshell in the soil and molasses in the feed.

Eggshell should be washed dried, and then ground into powder using a pestle and mortar, and then mixed with the soil before potting up.

If the plants are already in pots you can poke holes all around the plant like numbers on a clock face and sprinkling the powder in the holes and over the top of the soil then mix up the top cm of soil and water the plant to fill the holes.

It is very important to crush the eggshell as fine as possible because the bigger the pieces are the harder it is for them to be absorbed

So the eggshell being 100% calcium take care of half the problem and to take care of the mag I use molasses in the feed

You should use either blackstrap or regular unsulphered molasses. It should be added to the feed at a rate of 1teaspoon of molasses per litre of feed, and should be used every other feed for the whole flowering cycle.
I have found that using molasses gives a better depth of flavour and also increases the yield, so I would recommend that, if you don't already use it, try it even if you get a cal/mag supplement.

If you have a cal mag def showing then definitely get a supplement

I hope this has given you another organic option to consider

Crushed oyster shell and Epsom salt.

Mix the oyster shell in the soil with a little Epsom salt and use the Epsom a few times during the grow in your watering.

Thanks for all your replies. At this stage in my grow I do not have any defiency as of yet, I ask the calmag question so I can hopefully take the steps needed to stop it before it does happen.

I essentially use crushed eggshells not powdered but that works too..Molasses..cal mag suppliment CalMag+ from GO epsom and some Honey ES from humboldts and on flower ill sometimes use equilibrium with alot of the other products.I hit it from several ways from soil to watering through flower until i rinse the soil some prior to harvest.I use oyster powder..crusher shells are ideal too,just those are more for staying power and since I like to mix without gloves since I like the feel of the soil on my hands and them wee pieces can rip ya up sometimes so I use the powder.just use a nice pair of gloves to mix if ya add those crushed oyster shells.
