Benefits
CANNA CALMAG AGENT is a calcium and magnesium mineral nutrient designed to improve water quality for calcium sensitive systems, specifically when using reverse osmosis water with a coco medium.
Our CANNA CALMAG AGENT increases water hardness, without disrupting the balance of nutrient ratios within the system. By fixing hardness and stabilizing the pH, it also maintains nutrient quality while in the nutrient reservoir.
Benefits of CANNA CALMAG AGENT:
- Prevents deficiencies in calcium and magnesium
- Increases water hardness
- Stabilizes water pH over time
- Perfected for use on our CANNA COCO substrate
- Maintains optimal nutrient quality in the nutrient reservoir
- Stronger, healthier plants
- Promotes better quality flowers
Let’s take a closer look at water
SOFT WATER
Water that is naturally soft or has gone through reverse osmosis contains very little calcium and magnesium. CANNA CALMAG AGENT can be used to increase water hardness.
IDEAL WATER
This water is moderately hard to hard, contains an appropriate quantity of calcium and magnesium, and generally has an EC ~0.2-0.4. All CANNA products are designed to work best with this type of water. No need to use CANNA CALMAG AGENT.
VERY HARD WATER
To use very hard water, some growers use a reverse osmosis (R.O.) filter, which turns it to soft water. Use this R.O. treated water with CANNA CALMAG AGENT. Or, if your original water is free from contaminants, it can be mixed with your R.O. water till you reach an EC of 0.2-0.4.
BAD WATER
Water with high levels of sodium, chloride, or other harmful elements can block the uptake of nutrients or even be toxic to your plants. A reverse osmosis filter can be used to treat this water - make sure it's effective! Then, use CANNA CALMAG AGENT to prime the water for production.
How to use?
Fill nutrient reservoir with water of room temperature (64-72 °F).
Add nutrients and additives to be used such as CANNA COCO, CANNABOOST, RHIZOTONIC, CANNAZYM, and PK13/14, mixing between each addition. Adjust your EC as needed. Make pH adjustments as needed.
Add 2 - 4 ml/gal (5 - 10 ml/10 liters) of CALMAG AGENT, depending on your water quality and target plant.
Wait 24-48 hours to do additional pH adjustments, because the solution naturally drops and then rises in pH during this time. Keep in mind that a stable pH is also temperature dependent.
