I'm used to using epsom salts when yellowing appears. Now I have CM+ and would like to know how often and in what amounts (/gallon) should it be used as a supplement in watering to not only avoid the yellow ulcers but for general plant health?

5ml or 1/2 teaspoon a gallon with your regular feeding should do it.

How ofter to you feed?

EJ Grow and Catalyst every other watering. Am about to transplant from 1.5 gal. to 5 gal. pots for the last of the veg. and flowering. After the stretch, I plan on EJ Bloom and Catalyst.

That sounds good but you could feed less often. The ocean forest has a enough food in it for about a month. The EJ is good stuff, I like the bloom w/ no N.

Forget the cal-mag and the epsom.
Get some EJ microblast and use it about 2-3 times per grow cycle.

Thanks for the replies. Shmokin, how often would you feed ( especially considering it's DJ's Blueberry )?

I start light every 3rd to 5th watering, then up the dosage to full strength before flower and all through flower until the flush. TBB is a light feeds and does not like wet feet in my experience so full strength may not be typically be what most MJ plants can handle. She'll go 8-10 weeks flower so stop the N 4 weeks from finish and just give them the bloom until flush. This helps them really pack on the bud. Also its best to mix these ferts 2 days in advance and shake them up peiriodically to neutralize the ph.

Blueberry is a light feeder....

You should not even get near it with a grow/veg formula and maybe only once or twice with a bloom.

The most common mistake I see young growers make is over watering...the 2nd is over fertilizing.

I wish I was a "young grower" just new to it. I've noticed that she doesn't like wet or dry feet and I am probably over fertilizing. I had C+ goes tits up last grow because I hardly fed it at all because of the Blueberry father. Now I am likely guilty of the opposite. This plant doesn't seem to like anything. Wet or dry roots, alot or a little fertilizer and seems to be conflicted about light intensity or duration. I'm in over my head with this one, for sure. Thanks to both of you for you're input.
