Lighting Led and preventing calmag Def

[Rebel]

Double the dose? I wouldn't but that's me. I would start at 1/4 recommended dose and go from there. What does Tang recommend in his schedule? You did say you were following his schedule right?

Personally I run 18/6 from start to finish. There's constant debate on this. Its also down to your set up/climate in my opinion. I've run 18/6 and 20/4 with hardly any difference in results. I've run 24/0 and had horrible results as others have been phenomenal. So again other factors play in. What are you running now?

@Rebel

I was only saying double it if I ran into calmag Def and couldn't shift it. Yes I am following his guide and it says 1ml per liter of calmag which states on the bottle.

Yeah i would never run 24/0 waste of electric and I swear all plants need darkness at some point. I thought 20/4 might increase yield a little more compared to 18/6. I've always used 18/6 with hps. I've just seen a lot of people use 20 with leds that's why I asked

Yeah you could run 20/4. Try it. I haven't considered that yet...for my room

Yeah I might give it a go. i noticed tang said that maybe people get calmag Def due to lights being on longer. Did you run into calmag Def when using 20/4? Sorry for all the questions I do appreciate you giving me info

No worries friend its why we are here! No I think my issues are from me using both a very strong panel and T5s and I'm also using grow and bloom spectrums combined. Its drawing more out. That's in my case. I do see his point as that makes sense. Really its all up to you. Only way to find out is to try right? Lol

Yeah I'll be using grow and bloom spectrums too! Yeah I'll just see how it goes! I won't be able to do a journal on this grow as I haven't got the time unfortunately but I will post some pics here later on in the grow!

Nice one bro,
All the best and happy growing!

I've only had calmag def with certain plants. I haven't had to use it with all of them. I use leds as well. You'll find some need more of a specific nutrient more than others. I only use it when I see the deficiency. It's always caught right away and no harm seems to be done!
