Vitalink CalMag 5 Litre
VitaLink CalMag is a unique calcium and magnesium additive. It increases the availability of calcium which has poor mobility within the plant especially for areas of new growth or fruit formation.
Calcium is important for strengthening cell walls, it is ultimately what holds the cell walls together. Another key role of calicum is that it helps the transportation of other key nutrients around the plant, which in turn helps the plant receive these elements reducing the risk of the plant showing signs of other dificiencies such as potassium, magnesium and nitrogen. Calcium is known as an immobile nutrient which basically means once it’s in the plant it doesn’t move, it’ immobile, meaning that for new plant growth we need to keep adding it to our nutrient solution.
Magnesium is a macronutrient which is vital for plant growth and health. It acts as a building block for chlorophyll which is crucial for photosynthesis. Without enough magnesium photosynthesis can slow. Magnesium is a mobile nutrient which means that it can be moved around where the plant needs it. Also worth noting is that a magnesium dificiency can show when a rooms humidity is too low or even from the plant being over watered, meaning that these issus needs to be addressed to rectifcy the problem.
VitaLink CalMag contains two forms of chelated iron to maximise the availability of this micronutrient to your plants. Iron acts as an enzyme cofactor in plants and is also important for photosynthesis. An insufficient supply can limit plant growth. The combination of all these elements improves the overall performance of your plants, resulting in healthier growth and colour.
Use
Use 1 ml/L alongside main nutrients. Use during prolonged vegetative growth or when deficiency is observed. Check EC levels when using VitaLink CalMag because it will affect the EC of your nutrient solution. If required, adjust the pH. Recommended pH range 5.8-6.5. Shake well before use.
