I recently purchased cal-mag plus from Botanicare. My question is, for the love of god WHY is there nitrogen in it. If i’m in flower and my girls need some cal-mag, its going to pump some nitrogen into them.
N 2.0%, Ca 3.2%, Mg 1.2%, Fe 0.1%
Do they make a cal-mag without nitro? Maybe i should just add some egg shells to the organic soil for calcium, if and when needed?
Back off base nutes a tad to add the c/m 
Yes they make it without 
I’m organic soil, so nutes/amendments i have right now is “Recharge”, “Langbeinite 0-0-22” for potassium during flower, and Bone Meal 3-15-0 for Phosphorus, during flower. trying to keep it organic. I have nothing else being that I’m in 30% happy frog (top) / 70% ocean forest (bottom)
We gonna need some pics and support ticket filled out.
I’m not sure who to tag for full organic help 
2% nitrogen is a trivial amount, but I get it if you want to be strictly organic.
The cannabis lifecycle is too short for egg shells to break down and be of much benefit. It would make little if you are already flowering. Eggshells are best used in compost that has had time to break down. It takes a couple of months. The time to break them down can be accelerated a bit by baking them and grinding them into a powder.
Bone meal, ash, gypsum, or coffee grounds can be helpful.
Very rarely do you have calcium issues in soil. More than likely its a mag deficiency. This can be resolved with a tablespoon of agricultural epsom salts topdressed into your soil and watered in. Not only will the epsom provide mag but also sulfur. It also helps the roots with the absorption of nutrients to the plant. Its a win/win.
@legalgrow Ca with no N would be Gypsum, Limestone, DE, oyster flour or WCA. If wanting to use eggs, make up WCA for water soluble Ca source.
A water soluble form of calcium is calcium chloride, which can be bought from most hardware stores or places that sell swimming pool salt.
As mentioned 2% nitrogen isn’t going to cause problems to plants during flowering. Most nitrogen based fertilizers have around 16-20%, sometimes more.
For flowering you want more potassium and a bit of phosphorus to encourage the flowers. Nitrogen is used primarily for leaf and stem growth and the tiny amount in the supplement you have will get used by the plant.
…this is why i was concerned about the nitro. i already have the ocean forest soil in 70% of the 5gal pot, so it has enough nitro in there already. didn’t want to add more. …thanks… hopefully the nitro in the soil wont affect the flowering stage.
I think the cal-mag i bought will be ok. I don’t feel like grinding down egg shells, although i could, its not what i want to do hehe… just trying to prepare for every stage so things go smoothly when i hit that stage.
Here’s a pic of the girls… i fed them some recharge this morning with a little water, not much. just enough to moisten the soil.
Strain #1
Strain #2
The nitrogen won’t affect the flowering stage. If there is lots of nitrogen in the soil the plant will use what it needs and leave the rest. Plants use a lot of nitrogen during vege stage but also when they have been flipped (they stretch) and they keep using a fair amount of nitrogen until half way through flowering, at which time they reduce the amount they use because they are no longer producing lots of leaves and branches.
Most growers will start to see yellow leaves on their plants about half way through flowering and this is the plant sucking the nutrients out of old leaves and using it in the flowers. The nutrients they suck out include nitrogen so the small amount in the cal/ mag won’t be an issue even with nitrogen in the soil. There’s less nitrogen in the mix than calcium so it’s not a lot.
The Fe part of the cal/mag solution is iron (Fe) and that is a trace element and plants can take quite a lot of iron so that won’t be a problem either, just in case you had concerns.
