Canna Calmag Agent - Concentrate for Buffering Soft or RO Water
Canna Calmag Agent is designed to increase the EC (electrical conductivity) of soft water, making it ideal for those living in soft water areas or using reverse osmosis (RO) water. This product effectively "hardens" the water, promoting the growth of robust and healthy plants.
How Canna Calmag Agent Works
Canna nutrients and products are formulated to work with 'normal' water, which has a calcium and magnesium background EC between 0.4 and 0.7. Normal water contains calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate, which stabilize the water pH and supply essential nutrients to plants. Soft water and RO water, with an EC below 0.4, lack these crucial secondary nutrients. Both magnesium and especially calcium play significant roles in the metabolism, health, and development of plants at all stages.
When using soft water or RO water, it's necessary to balance the calcium and magnesium levels to normal before mixing your nutrient solution with Canna nutrients. Failing to do so can lead to deficiencies, adversely affecting plant health and the quality and size of the final crop.
For those with water that has an EC above 0.8, Canna recommends using a reverse osmosis unit to reduce the EC to virtually zero. Canna Calmag Agent can then be used to raise the EC back up to 0.4, ensuring the optimal nutrient balance for your plants.
