Calcium and magnesium are two secondary nutrients that are crucial for numerous forms of plant development. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSource of calcium\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll plants need calcium for cell wall formation: they’ll grow withered and stunted if they don’t have adequate levels. Plants may need even higher amounts of calcium than usual if you’re using additional nutrients to boost yield size, as the stems and leaves need the structural integrity to support them. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCalcium is also responsible for regulating temperature and humidity stress. It helps the tiny stomata (pores) on leaves to open and close during gas exchange and transpiration. Low calcium levels leave the stomata unable to function properly, making the plant vulnerable to heat. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupplies vital magnesium\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMagnesium is another secondary macronutrient that needs to be supplemented in certain conditions. Without magnesium, there would be no chlorophyll and no photosynthesis. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlants grown under powerful lights, like LEDs and HPS lights, must have adequate levels of magnesium to support their rapid growth and large fruits and flowers. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInvaluable in coco\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCoco coir is highly aerated and so is a common choice of substrate for growers looking to extend their root network. It allows plenty of room for the rhizosphere to breathe and expand, increasing nutrient uptake for stronger plants. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHowever, coco has a high cation exchange capacity. It prefers to bind to calcium and magnesium - so when it encounters these substances, the coco takes them for itself. It then puts potassium and sodium back into the substrate as an “exchange”. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn short: it’s difficult for plants to access calcium and magnesium in coco, even when it’s supplied in normal amounts. As a result, a supplementary Cal-Mag is always a good idea, topping up levels to ensure your plants actually reap the benefits of these vital macronutrients. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use SHOGUN Cal-Mag?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAny Cal-Mag should generally be used for preventative purposes.
