FloraMax Ca-Mg-Fe Fights Common Nutrient Deficiency Symptoms

Ca-Mg-Fe

When Using FloraMax, do I Need to Use Ca-Mg-Fe?

No, provided the EC and feed regime are both adequate.  The FloraMax line has sufficient Cal-Mag In its base nutrients and Flowering Enhancer.  Over hundreds of test grows during the development phase there was never any need for a dedicated Cal-Mag additive.  Deficiencies are only ever likely to occur if growers are underfeeding, or if running excessive PPFD, VPD or CO2.  In the latter case add 1-2ml/L (4-8ml/Gal) of Veg-1 or FloraMax Ca-Mg-Fe.  If this fails to fix the problem within 1-2 weeks, then the issue is probably not due to Cal-Mag or trace elements.

 

In over 90% of the “alleged” deficiency incidents that we have responded to (with FloraMax), the grower has either failed to follow the chart or maintain the correct environment.  Deficiencies are only ever likely to occur if growers are underfeeding, or running excessive pH, PPFD, VPD or CO2.  In the latter cases, add 1-2ml/L (4-8ml/Gal) of FloraMax Ca-Mg-Fe or Veg-1.  If this fails to fix the problem within 1-2 weeks, then the issue is probably not due to Cal-Mag or trace elements.

NOTE: If a nutrient solution is deficient, Ca-Mg-Fe is the most effective and efficient way of rectifying the issue. Increasing EC by increasing the base nutrient dose is a common remedy, however, the most likely elements to be deficient in ‘most’ nutrient solutions are those contained within Ca-Mg-Fe – and is therefore why we recommend it for this purpose.

These are NOT recommended for use as foliar sprays.  Firstly, the calcium in Cal-Mag additives (and base nutrients) will cause white staining on the surface of foliage.  During daylight (lights-on), this can hinder photosynthesis and cause burning of foliage (aka “necrosis”).  Also, the nutrient species used in Cal-Mags or base nutrients are not ideally suited for uptake via stomata.  For maximum uptake and efficacy, it is best to use a specialized foliar spray such as FloraMax Clone Spray.  This can be used for seedlings and clones, then throughout veg and in early bloom through to about week 3 or 4 – but generally not later than this.  The ingredients in Clone Spray are designed for maximum uptake via stomata and will impart the necessary benefits desired from a foliar spray e.g. improved foliage growth, increased number and quality of bud sites, improved plant structure and increased root mass.

FloraMax Growers Guide

Overview of Nutrient Deficiency Symptoms

Monitor plants closely for symptoms of nutrient deficiency. These symptoms can provide a valuable forewarning of serious problems within the growing system. Be aware that there are many factors that cause nutrient deficiency symptoms in a plant. The nutrient itself is usually not the cause.

What Causes Deficiency Symptoms?

The appearance of foliar deficiency symptoms often causes inexperienced growers to conclude that the nutrient solution is deficient in a particular element. However, if a ‘complete’ nutrient formulation is being used, check the following before settling on this conclusion:

  • Excessive PPFD, VPD or CO2 promotes faster nutrient uptake which depletes the rootzone’s nutrient supply more rapidly
  • Insufficient EC or feed frequency
  • In recirculating hydroponic systems, the nutrient is discarded too infrequently
  • Inappropriate nutrient pH: Causes certain nutrient elements to become unavailable for uptake
  • Excessive humidity: Hinders the distribution of nutrient throughout the plant
  • Signs of pests or diseases: Their presence can produce symptoms that are similar in appearance to nutrient deficiency symptoms
