    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.

    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.
    I've always found though that for the rate which we force these plants through their cycles the demands are usually very similar when using tap water in a hydroponic or soilless medium. Some genetics will be able to push through without a cal-mag supplement but many won't, remember also just because you don't see the deficiency... doesn't mean it isn't happening!

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