Overview

Mills Nutrients CalMag is a potent supplement designed to address calcium and magnesium deficiencies, particularly in soft water areas or when using reverse osmosis (RO) filters. This additive ensures plants receive essential secondary macronutrients, which are critical for their overall health, structural integrity, and growth efficiency.

General Information

• Application: Suitable for use in all growing systems and media, particularly effective for soft water areas (EC below 0.3) and when using RO water.
• Ingredients: Contains high levels of calcium and magnesium.
• Usage Context: Useful in preventing calcium and magnesium lockout during peak flowering stages when additional phosphorus and potassium are added.

Benefits

• Enhances Nutrient Solution: Elevates the levels of calcium and magnesium, ensuring plants have adequate supplies.
• Corrects Deficiencies: Effectively treats calcium and magnesium deficiencies, restoring plant health.
• Optimal for Coco Growers: Ideal for coco growing media where the demand for calcium and magnesium is higher.
• Strengthens Plants: Fortifies cell walls, resulting in more robust and resilient plants.
• Boosts Photosynthesis: Increases photosynthesis rates, promoting rapid and healthy plant growth.

The Science

Calcium:

• Strengthens cell walls, enhancing structural integrity and resistance to environmental stress.
• Activates enzymes that serve as biocatalysts, accelerating vital chemical reactions within the plant.
• Deficiency in calcium leads to stunted growth, increased plant stress, and higher susceptibility to pests and diseases.

Magnesium:

• Integral component of chlorophyll, the pigment crucial for photosynthesis.
• Optimizes photosynthesis rates, improving energy capture and carbon extraction from the atmosphere.
• Enhances overall plant growth and allows plants to reach their full potential.

How to Use

1. Dosage:
• Adjust the dosage according to the specific needs of your plants and the existing nutrient regimen.
• Typically added to the nutrient solution to correct deficiencies or prevent lockout during peak flowering stages.
2. Mixing Instructions:
• Add CalMag to your nutrient solution and mix thoroughly.
• Ensure even distribution by stirring well.
3. Application:
• Use as needed based on water quality and plant requirements.
• Monitor plants for signs of calcium and magnesium deficiencies and adjust accordingly.

Best Practices

1. Compatibility:
• If using a soft water nutrient like Basis A&B SW, CalMag might not be necessary as the formula already compensates for calcium and magnesium deficiencies in soft water.
2. Storage:
• Store in a cool, dark place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Keep out of reach of children.
3. Handling:
• Wear protective gloves and eyewear when handling the product.
• In case of contact with skin or eyes, rinse immediately with water.
4. Monitoring:
• Regularly check EC and pH levels to ensure optimal nutrient uptake.
• Adjust the nutrient solution as needed based on the plants' growth stage and health status.

By incorporating Mills Nutrients CalMag into your nutrient regimen, you can ensure that your plants receive the necessary calcium and magnesium for optimal growth, robust health, and high-yield harvests.
