Cal-Mag Plus is a specialized calcium, magnesium & iron, plant supplement designed to compensate for deficiencies in some commercial and hydroponic nutrient programs. Cal-Mag Plus also compensates for the natural calcium draw of coco coir fiber.
Maintain Balance:
Cal-Mag Plus provides a precise balance and optimal ratios of the calcium, magnesium, and iron that are critical throughout all stages of growth, especially in heavily fruiting plants and fast blooming annuals. Cal-Mag Plus is fortified with a proprietary blend of select trace minerals to help maximize yields in fruiting and flowering plant varieties, prevent blossom end rot in tomatoes and peppers, and reduce tip burn in lettuce. When used in combination with nutrient solutions Cal-Mag Plus functions as a catalyst to increase the uptake of essential minerals.
What problem does Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus solve for hydroponic and coco coir growers?
Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus is designed to compensate for calcium, magnesium, and iron deficiencies that can occur in commercial and hydroponic nutrient programs, and to offset the natural calcium draw of coco coir fiber. The supplement also addresses common deficiency symptoms such as interveinal chlorosis, stunted growth, and upward leaf curl.
Which growing media and garden types is Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus compatible with?
