you don't usually need calmag+ for tap water. as rusty stated, calmag+ (and similar supplements) are for reverse osmosis water/distilled water. tap water usually has these things in it.Quote:

the Big Bloom isn't to blame, it isn't really a 'fertilizer', having very low levels of nutrients ... it is an earthworm casting, etc., tea, that supplies beneficial bacteria, etc ... the bacteria help break down the nutrients, making them more readily available to the plant ... it's very good stuff, pretty hard to overdo it ... good luck :smokin:
In RO and distilled it most definitely is a requirement.Quote:

Cocogro from Botanicare is pre rinsed with CalMag+
It's a great medium :hippy:
