SHOGUN Cal-Mag: Essential Calcium & Magnesium Supplement for Robust Plant Growth

Enhance Your Plant Nutrition with SHOGUN Cal-Mag

Unlock the full potential of your plants with SHOGUN Cal-Mag, a highly refined Cal-Mag supplement expertly formulated to tackle the most common nutrient deficiencies. Developed by leading biochemists, this solution provides a concentrated and bioavailable source of calcium and magnesium, two crucial secondary nutrients that are fundamental to vigorous plant development. Whether you are a seasoned grower or just starting your journey, SHOGUN Cal-Mag is the key to improving overall plant health, strengthening structure, and maximising yields.

Why Your Plants Need a High-Quality Cal-Mag Supplement

Understanding the roles of calcium and magnesium is the first step towards superior cultivation. These elements are vital for multiple internal processes, and a lack of either can severely hinder your plant's ability to thrive.

The Critical Role of Calcium in Plant Development

• Builds Strong Cell Walls Calcium is the primary building block for strong plant cell walls and membranes. An adequate supply ensures your plants develop robust stems and a sturdy structure, preventing them from becoming weak or withered.

• Regulates Environmental Stress This essential mineral helps to regulate the function of stomata—the tiny pores on leaves responsible for gas exchange. Proper regulation is vital for managing heat and humidity stress, making calcium indispensable for plants grown under powerful indoor lighting.

The Power of Magnesium for Vitality and Photosynthesis

• Drives Chlorophyll Production Magnesium sits at the very core of the chlorophyll molecule. Without it, your plants cannot perform photosynthesis, the process of converting light into energy. Supplementing with magnesium leads to greener leaves and more efficient energy production.

• Supports Rapid Growth For plants grown under intense HPS or LED lights, the demand for magnesium skyrockets. SHOGUN Cal-Mag provides the necessary boost to support the rapid growth and development of large, healthy flowers and fruits.

The Perfect Solution for Coco Coir Growers

Growing in coco coir offers fantastic aeration and promotes a healthy root zone, but it presents a unique challenge for plant nutrition. SHOGUN Cal-Mag is specifically designed to overcome this obstacle, making it an essential addition to your feeding schedule.

Overcoming Nutrient Lockout in Coco

• Counteracts Cation Exchange Coco coir naturally binds to and holds onto calcium and magnesium cations, a process known as cation exchange. This "nutrient lockout" prevents these vital elements from reaching your plant. SHOGUN Cal-Mag delivers a concentrated dose that satisfies the coco's demand, ensuring plenty is left for your plants.

• Guarantees Optimal Nutrient Uptake By providing a readily available source of these minerals, this supplement ensures your plants receive the full benefit of their feeding regimen. This directly contributes to improved nutrient uptake and the efficient translocation of nutrients throughout the plant.

How to Identify and Correct Common Nutrient Deficiencies

Recognising the early signs of a deficiency allows you to act quickly and prevent long-term damage. Here’s what to look for:

1. Signs of Calcium Deficiency

   • New leaves, shoots, and root tips appear stunted, deformed, or die back.
   • Necrosis (tissue death) appears as small, dead spots, often on younger leaves.
   • The overall plant structure may seem weak, with thinner stems than expected.

2. Signs of Magnesium Deficiency

   • Classic leaf chlorosis occurs, where the leaves turn yellow, but the veins remain a distinct green colour, typically affecting older, lower leaves first.
   • The edges of the leaves may develop a reddish or purplish tint.
   • In advanced stages, the affected leaves might feel brittle and develop brown spots that look like burns.

Flexible Application: How to Use SHOGUN Cal-Mag

SHOGUN Cal-Mag offers versatile application methods, allowing you to use it as a preventative root feed or a corrective foliar spray.

Standard Root Feed Instructions

• For Preventative Maintenance It is recommended to use SHOGUN Cal-Mag preventatively throughout the entire vegetative stage and flowering stage to avoid deficiencies before they start.

• Simple Dilution Rate Add 1-2ml of SHOGUN Cal-Mag per litre of water to your nutrient reservoir or watering can. It integrates seamlessly with your existing base hydroponic nutrients.

Corrective Foliar Spray Instructions

• For Rapid Correction A foliar spray is highly effective for quickly correcting visible deficiencies caused by environmental stress or poor establishment.

• Targeted Application Dilute at a rate of 15ml per litre of water and spray directly onto the leaves, ensuring even coverage. Apply once per week until the signs of deficiency are resolved. The recommended pH for foliar application is between 5 and 7.

The SHOGUN Advantage: Precision and Quality

Highly Refined Formula

• This expertly balanced formula contains Nitrogen (2.6%), Calcium (3.2%), Magnesium (1.2%), and Iron (0.1%) to provide a comprehensive solution for common deficiencies and enhance overall plant nutrition.

Enhanced Nutrient Translocation

• By balancing the mineral content in the root zone, SHOGUN Cal-Mag actively improves the translocation of nutrients, helping your plant make better use of other essential elements like potassium and phosphorus, which are key for flower development.

Suitable for All Growing Systems

• While essential for coco coir, this Cal-Mag supplement is highly effective in any growing medium, including soil, and all types of hydroponic systems.
