When using NFT recirculating system, I add 1.3-2 gram Epsom to dedicated nutrient, depending on the growth stage.

Using Coco Nutrients.
No, it is a balancing act to add the right level of Calcium through Calimagic and keep Mg levels down.
Coco Nutrients generally have/need lower Mg than other Nutrients, as shown in last column of CocoTec profile.

The top of thread GH-Flora profiles without Flora Bloom overcome this problem with control across all elements.
That said, I am getting pretty good results with the standard 3part Flora and Calmag mixtures.


There should be Mg bound in Coco through pre-treatment, some other elements are more in solution.
Depending on your Coco, your results may vary.

With badly treated Coco, I have watered with 1ml/L Calmag after Sunset.
Than flushed with copious amount of Nutrients an hour before Sunrise.

I would stop short of recommending this without knowing the circumstances,
but it worked good enough to save my first Coco Crop.

Cheers.

im running DTW here with 200 5 gallon fabric pots in flower, pretty happy with the 3 part and calmag added for first weeks and then dropping it as flowering progresses, i do add mg as im reducing the calmag

That's a few pots to tend.

I have been using plastic 200L round, and the 1000L square plastic drums cut to half depth for grow beds.
For breeding in our extremes you need a large reserve of water around roots.

For single plants under lights I had some 4L 200mm plastic pots laying around.
I added Canna Aqua Clay Pebbles to all the Coco.


As understood, the plants calcium needs reduce into flowering,
whilst plant roots also slow in growth and breakup less coco.

i have a habit of using my trays as rez, i block off drains at days 21-42 finding that this allows plants to uptake as they need after lights go off. i reduce calmag as flower progress as well starting in week 5
