calmag question

[michaelpeg]

how long does the calmag stay good for when you add it to water? it would be easier to mix alot at one time instead of daily.

You should mix it as you use it i think..

ok thanks bob, nice to hear from you again.

maybe rusty wouldn't mind giving me his take on this? just so i can be 100% sure because it really would save me some hassle.

I agree with BobBong. You'll generally want to use all nutes and suppliments as mixed. Kinda like leaving your soda out all night....it goes flat. Plus the iorn in it oxidizes, and leaving it sit increases the chance for chemical interactions with existing crap in the tapwater.

It is ok to mix partial batches, though. I do it all the time. Or mix a full batch, and give some to your houseplants or outdoor flowers. Gourds and pumpkins love/need calcium suppliments, as do some cacti. :jointsmile:

ok i will mix it a litre at a time, thanks, only caring for one plant in coco, just for coco experience and i am using rain water instead of tap because my tap water doesn't seem to be very good as it comes out at ph 8.4 and leaves a pink film on my bathtub about 3 days after cleaning.

Rain water is not the best. Ever hear of acid rain...? Contains contaminates from around the world.
