What is Plant Mechanics Super N+ Cal Mag and how does it help plants?
It’s a high-performance veg booster that combines three forms of nitrogen with calcium and magnesium. It helps correct common deficiencies, promotes fast vegetative growth, and supports stronger, greener plants—especially in hydro, coco, or under strong lighting.
Why does Plant Mechanics Super N+ Cal Mag use three types of nitrogen?
Each nitrogen form (ammonium, nitrate, amide) behaves differently in the root zone. This blend ensures better uptake across varying conditions, making growth more efficient and reducing the chance of nitrogen lockout.
When should I use Plant Mechanics Super N+ Cal Mag, and in what systems?
Use it during seedling and vegetative stages, or for deficiency correction. It’s safe for hydro, coco, soil, DWC, autopots, and drip systems. Avoid using it as a main feed in flowering unless correcting early-stage issues.
What’s the recommended dose for seedlings, veg, and deficiency repair?
Use 0.3 mL/L for seedlings, 0.5 mL/L in veg, and up to 0.6 mL/L for correcting deficiencies. Apply with regular feeding during veg. Adjust based on plant response and total EC load.
Does Plant Mechanics Super N+ Cal Mag affect EC or pH?
Yes—it will raise EC slightly and may influence pH. Always check EC and pH after mixing. If feeding is already strong, reduce base nutrients to stay within your plant’s tolerance.
What’s the correct way to mix Plant Mechanics Super N+ Cal Mag?
Always mix nutrients in this order: water → base nutrients → Super N+ Cal Mag → other additives → mix well → pH last. Never mix concentrates directly together. Silica should always go into water first.
What deficiency signs can Plant Mechanics Super N+ Cal Mag help correct?
Pale plants, yellowing between veins (Mg), twisted new growth or rusty spots (Ca), and slow or stunted veg. You’ll usually see improvement in new growth within days if the root zone and pH are dialled.
Can I overdo it with Plant Mechanics Super N+ Cal Mag?
Yes—too much can lead to dark, clawed leaves, burnt tips, or excess runoff EC. Avoid stacking it on top of strong nitrogen feeding and always monitor plant response closely.
Should I use Plant Mechanics Super N+ Cal Mag with RO or hard water?
Yes for RO—pure water needs added Ca/Mg. For hard water, start lower as your water may already contain some calcium and magnesium. Adjust based on EC and plant signs.
Is it safe to use in reservoirs and irrigation systems?
Yes—mix well, aerate, and keep tanks cool. Avoid letting mixed solution sit warm for days. Shake before use and store sealed, cool, and out of sunlight. If it smells off or separates abnormally, discard it.
Can I use it with microbes or sterilizing agents?
Yes, it’s microbe-friendly. However, don’t use it with strong oxidizers like hydrogen peroxide if you're running a living system. Choose either a biological or sterile approach and stay consistent.
What sizes are available and which should I buy?
Available in 250 mL, 1L, and 5L. Try 250 mL for small grows or testing. Choose 1L for standard veg cycles. Go with 5L if you’re running large reservoirs or multiple plants regularly.
