How much calcium and magnesium? Male
Default How much calcium and magnesium?

Like the title says. I have some MSU blend intended for mixing in rain or pure water, 13-3-15 with 8 Ca and 2 Mg. I bought this from First Ray's. Were the calcium and magnesium amounts likely chosen based on what the plants need, or what will remain soluble when mixed?

For my semi-hydroponic plants I use it at 1/8 teaspoon per gallon of rain / 0.17ml powder per liter, at almost every watering, which gives about 21ppm nitrogen.

My Vandas in vases get 1 teaspoon per gallon / 1.3ml powder per liter, at almost every watering, which gives about 170ppm nitrogen.

My other seedling plants of various genera get 1/4 tsp per gallon, about 40ppm nitrogen, and my adult plants of various genera get 1/2 tsp per gallon, about 80ppm nitrogen, at almost every watering.

Everything gets kelp in rain about once a month.

Are all my plants likely getting enough calcium and magnesium? Thanks.
