Description
Drip Hydro CaMg, also known as Cal-Mag, is a specialized nutrient supplement designed to address potential deficiencies of calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) in hydroponic and drip irrigation systems. Here's a detailed description:
Calcium and Magnesium Supplement: Drip Hydro CaMg is formulated as a concentrated solution containing both calcium and magnesium. These are essential secondary nutrients that plants require for various physiological processes, including cell wall development, enzyme activation, and overall plant structure.
Hydroponic and Drip Irrigation Compatibility: This nutrient solution is specifically crafted for use in hydroponic systems and drip irrigation setups. Hydroponic systems involve growing plants in nutrient-rich water without soil, and the nutrient solution must provide all the essential elements, including calcium and magnesium.
Preventing Deficiencies: Calcium and magnesium deficiencies can manifest in plants as issues like yellowing leaves, stunted growth, and poor fruit development. Drip Hydro CaMg is designed to prevent and correct such deficiencies, ensuring that plants have an optimal supply of these vital nutrients throughout their growth cycle.
Enhanced Nutrient Uptake: Calcium and magnesium play a crucial role in nutrient uptake by plants. They facilitate the transport of other nutrients, such as phosphorus and potassium, within the plant. This leads to improved overall nutrient absorption and utilization.
Balanced Plant Nutrition: Maintaining the correct balance of nutrients is essential for healthy plant growth. Drip Hydro CaMg is formulated to provide a balanced ratio of calcium to magnesium, reflecting the plant's natural requirements.
Easy to Use: The supplement is typically easy to use in hydroponic systems. It can be added directly to the nutrient reservoir, and its concentration can be adjusted based on the growth stage of the plants and the specific requirements of the chosen crop.
Versatile Application: Drip Hydro CaMg is suitable for a wide range of crops, including vegetables, fruits, and flowering plants. It is often used in greenhouse cultivation, indoor gardening, and large-scale hydroponic operations.
Improved Plant Health and Productivity: By addressing calcium and magnesium deficiencies, this nutrient solution promotes robust plant health. Healthy plants are more resistant to stress, diseases, and environmental fluctuations, ultimately leading to increased productivity and higher-quality yields.
Quality Assurance: Reputable brands ensure the quality and purity of their nutrient supplements. This includes adherence to industry standards, quality control measures, and, in some cases, organic certifications for those following organic growing practices.
Compatibility with Other Nutrients: Drip Hydro CaMg is often designed to be compatible with other hydroponic nutrients. This allows growers to customize their nutrient solutions based on the specific needs of their plants and the growth stage.

INFORMATION QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Hydroponics?
Hydroponics is the science of growing plants without soil. The plants thrive on the nutrient-water solution alone. The growing medium merely acts as a support for the plants and their root systems while the solution passes freely. The growing medium, if any, is totally inert.
What types of plants grow best hydroponically?
Anything can be grown hydroponically, but some plants prove to be more space efficient. Some plants we suggest are tomatoes, sweet peppers, hot chilies, lettuce, spinach, squash, cucumbers, broccoli, beans, snow peas, herbs and flowers of all types.
Can you REALLY get better yields/quicker growth?
Absolutely. The plants, when receiving everything they need, tend to be healthier, faster growing and generally more productive. You can expect 30% faster growth with many crops.
What are the watering cycle timelines hydroponic systems?
Once the reservoir is filled with nutrients, it is time to put your hydro system to work! The ease of hydroponics is automation – automation is achieved by putting the pump on a timer according to your watering needs. The watering cycle depends on growth stage, growing medium and hydroponic system. In an ebb and flow or drip system with rockwool as the medium, seedlings, clones and plants in the early vegetative stage require watering only once a day for 15-30 minutes (twice a day for higher temps). Mature, flowering and fruiting plants require a heavier feed and can be fed once a day for 30 minutes (twice a day for higher temps). Typically soiless mixes and coco fiber can be watered for about 15 minutes twice a day, and can be adjusted for heavier feeding during the flowering and fruiting stage or higher temps. ViaStone, Hydroton, Grow Rocks, and Silicate mediums need to be watered more frequently – a constant drip for drip systems, and about 15-30 minutes every 3 hours for ebb and flow systems and can be adjusted for heavier feeding during the flowering and fruiting stage or higher temps. Aeroponic systems require frequent watering cycles; 30-60 seconds every few minutes or a constant spray.
What do I need to test pH? How do I test pH?
pH has a range from 0 (acidic) – 14 (alkaline), with 7 being neutral. A proper hydroponic pH range is between 5.5 to 6.2 for most hydroponic crops. For specific crop pH, check out our Plant Guide. pH must remain within the proper range for good plant health, disease resistance, and proper nutrient uptake. pH is maintained by adding pH Up and pH Down to the nutrient solution. For more information, see the Testssection of our site.
How will the flavor compare to my outdoor grown, organic produce?
The taste may be even better! This is simply due to the fact that the hydroponically grown plants are getting everything they need, when they need it. Don’t be fooled by “hot house” produce grown commercially. The grower’s primary concern is shipability and storage, not flavor. When you grow your own vegetables at home, you can expect nothing less than excellent results. Plus, hydroponically grown produce has the added benefit of a longer shelf life.
