CalMag+ in Coco? Do I need it?

[aquanaut]

I'm currently only Day 10 in veg but was starting to wonder.

Does Canna Coco A and B nutes (incl. PK 13/14) have trace minerals.. calc.. mag... and iron?

Or should I be dosing a bit CalMag+ into my nutrient solution?

Depends on what water you use.
How much, and what kind of "hardness".
Good hydro nutes have some calcium n magnesium but they still left my girls wanting.
I use coco but my tap water has very little calcium, (Volcanic Island), so I need to add tsp of CalMag per gallon.
Learned the hard way.

Hmmm thats a good one.

Well for starters I use RO/DI water (de-ionized) for that extra level of purification. I have a client that I take care of his saltwater aquarium and they use RO/DI units to prepare saltwater.

Maybe I should be adding some CalMag being as my water is so pure?

Well, it wouldn't hurt!:)

I've read some where that if you have hard water you can add some to RO and distilled water to get some elements in there....

Is that true?

Yes, as far as I know.
And I did some testing of R/O vs distilled vs tap.
I'm happy to say, the tap water won.
Saves me a bundle.
