- Grower Notes
- Coco uses up calcium and magnesium faster than soil, which naturally contains some already.
It provides a readily available source of calcium and magnesium, preventing deficiencies before they become apparent.
These two vital elements are used up quicker in coco grows than soils, as soil naturally contains some already. A lack of magnesium and calcium will lead to all manner of issues and your end yield will be affected while the plant suffers the consequences.
Adding Mag Cal is a great way to maintain a healthy plant that can grow without restriction.
