not really, you can get calcium or magnisium as powder, is way cheaper like that. Just apply both powder on a ratio 1:2 between calcium and magnesium and reach the same EC as base (0.4) it works perfectly ;D

My spray is the cal/mag I make. I use @Kronic recipe - 1tblspn ground egg shell to 1 oz vinegar or juice 1 lemon - ferment a few days, strain off liquid - 1 tblspn lquid reserve to 1 gal H2o, 1 tblspn epson salt, place in spray bottle. Every other time I add organic kelp powder - 1 tsp per spray bottle. You must test the ph as vinegar / lemon will drastically change it

@Hagal we reuse our egg shells so it’s just convenient for me to just make calcium acetate from the calcium carbonate in the shells 
plus I know where it comes from and I feel good using egg shells!

Thats awsome, i have grinded many egg shells to do it that way but this far i’ve been using the EC measuring system for too long lol. Despite that, i may try It with one of the plants on the next crop. Soooo… how do you apply egg shells on the soil?

I grind in my blender. I have ground using mortar and pestil. You can grind with rocks. The acid will break down some of the calcium. The smaller / finer we grind, the more acetate.
For soil - just crush and sprinkle in before the plant gets placed in the medium. If top dressing, just mix in gently at top layers. Remember, in soil, it takes a long time for calcium to break down. Your plant will almost be finished before the egg shell in the substrate has broken down. I make my compost with egg shell so it is available when I prepare my substrate. My compost goes 6 mos to 1 year before I make my soil. Foliar feeding is much better. Spray on plant and it is absorbed within a day ot 2. Best to spray is at night. Make sure to check ec/tds and ph before placing in spray bottle. The acids we use really hit that ph hard, its acid. We need to buffer it down, that is why we only mix like a tablespoon of the liquid acetate to a gallon of water. I try to get the ph around 5.8 and the ec around 1.8 for best results

@Jared I just have a spare blender we throw them in and get them ground up enough I would love to get a coffee grinder or food processor to grind it up, as the more ground dust the more calcium acetate you create like @Mrb53004 stated

What’s up,
They are coming along. I lost 1, not sure what happened, she changed to a light green then stopped all together. I replanted another lemon haze in her place but the other 3 I think are good. They are 17 days now and I just started lst. Let me know what you think.

I would back off on the lst, maybe you are a little to rough and stressing them. Try letting it just GROW…no touchy…
When a plant dies after a week or 2, it is always a direct response to something in its environment. If it is genetic, bacteria, it dies right after it sprouts or doesn’t even sprout.
Process of elimination
Lights…to close or too hot
Soil - something hot in your soil
Watering - overwatering or Ph problem, could also be PPM of your water (source)
Feeding - you do NOT FEED seedlings. Plain water for at least 3 weeks easily
Rh - humidity is way off, not a little but way off.

Thanks for the advice, I think i gave the one i lost some grow big and may have over watered. I couldn’t help it haha. As far as the lst should i undo what i did?

Good evening! When I first joined this forum, I remember someone posted about wanting more MarsHydro stickers…I think I remember that being you??? I have purchased a tent and light from them and have another tent coming in a few days. I have two pages of stickers, anticipating receiving another…do you want my stickers? I would be happy to send them to you if you want them.

Haha that’s awesome, I actually just purchased a mars hydro ts600 and a page of stickers came with it. I had no clue they did that but hey they look cool on the toolbox. Any thoughts on the ts600?

I don’t think I need a whole sheet of them but I would take a couple of those stickers.

Well, I have two sheets, expecting a third in a couple days and I really don’t want the stickers. I would love to send them to someone that would like them. If you want to send me your address, I will cut around the small ones and send them to you (rather than using a large envelope) in a reg. Envelope. I can also send you the large stickers if you want, but they will be folded to fit in a reg. Envelope. Just let me know what you would like
I wish I had some information to help you with, but I’m a newbie
