how much nutes should i be giving my plants when i top off the water should it be just plain water or water with nutes added?
im confused last time i i grew my plants devolped nute burn and i dont want to make the same mistake twice

thats pretty high ppm. a good range is around 50 but best is 0. i would just go and buy some calmag. your plants shouldnt get worse in the time that you get that supplement. also when topping off your rez. you should add the water with no nutes and adjust the ph after your level. never add more nutes. you only add em during a complete rez change

do you think they will be good for another week without calmag should i add some epsom salt i have a bag out it for cleanig pieces if so should i go with what the bag say or should i half it quarter it???let me kno plz

If you read stinkyatticks sticky thread about Epsom salt, she will tell you Epsom should not be used to cure a calmag deficincy. You really need to cure it by adding calmag. You really need calmag. If your still in veg and have a lil vegging to do then you should be ok but if flowering your not going to build beautiful sugar/photo leaves cause they are going to eat themselves and brown up more causing loss of yeild. Also when flowering calmag deficiency will cause weak stems and fluffier buds rather than a strong stock.
