BlueGold® Cal-King (OMRI Listed)

OMRI LISTED LIQUID MICRONIZED CALCIUM CARBONATE –
DERIVED FROM: ARAGONITE

WHAT CAN PROPER CALCIUM LEVELS DO FOR YOU?

Calcium is the most important nutrient in your entire Nutrient lineup, but no nutrient processes without sufficient Phosphate, and sufficient Phosphate will not process unless there is sufficient Calcium. Calcium applied in the Vegetative cycle, balanced with Phosphate, helps set the plant up for a huge Flower cycle. Excess Potassium applied in the Vegetative cycle pushes out Calcium, causing the plant to break apart before Flower. Additionally, the industry typically has Cal-Mag issues because the ratio of Magnesium and Calcium is too tight in the soil and the sap.

There are many different types of Calcium, and their structure dictates its behavior in soil. BlueGold® Cal-King is formulated using Oolitic Aragonite, which is Oceanic Calcium Carbonate. Ag-Limes, like limestone, are hydrophobic and very insoluble in water. Combined with soils low in microbial activity and organic matter, they take years or decades to become available. These types of Calcium also average a few pounds per ton of truly available Calcium. Aragonite is very hydrophilic and moves very quickly in soils, and they have a Nitrogen-fixing biological package attached to the tune of 200,000,000 CFU/g. Aragonite has been proven to carry negative ionic charges, which can explain on another level how they can react so quickly in soil (a positive ionic environment).

ABOUT BLUEGOLD® CAL-KING

BlueGold® Cal-King undergoes our Eden Synergy micronization process to maximize immediate bioavailability and is combined with our flagship BlueGold® technology. We process the raw Aragonite using only mechanical means, zero chemicals, acids, or solvents of any kind. Because of this, Cal King is a living Solution. This means we enhance the natural biology that comes from the Aragonite, and because this Solution contains carbohydrates, you may see fungi growth inside your container. This is normal. Please mix the Solution and continue to feed as usual. BlueGold® Cal-King is 10 microns.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION

For best results, this product must be used in conjunction with a proper Soil and Sap Test Analysis and applied according to test results for the crop type, crop height, and PPM change required. Properly balancing nutrients by simultaneously lowering all excess and raising all deficient nutrient PPMs is critical to long-lasting beneficial results in any crop.

Depending on the Calcium PPM change needed, possible rates are as follows: If by foliar, 8 to 32 fl. oz. per acre with a minimum of 21 gallons of water. A non-guaranteed general use recommendation of this product in foliar applications per acre basis is 5oz per one foot of crop height for a desired plant sap movement of 1 PPM. If by fertigation injection, 8 to 64 fl. oz. per acre. If by aerial, 32 fl. oz. per 5 gallons of water used per acre. If by pivot or wheel line, apply at 100% ground speed, then resume normal ground speed watering. It can be applied in all weather conditions, including rain and extreme heat. The best spray time is early morning when dew is present. Rates subject to excesses, i.e., salts, chlorides, metals, sulfur, etc.

COVERAGE:

With any BlueGold® Solution, you must cover the entire plant to a drip (fruit, leaves [especially on the bottom], stalk, stem, super-structure, etc.). Spray pressure and nozzles change as the growth changes on the crop throughout its growing season. Your field spray operator needs to spray 50′ or so. And we highly recommend getting off and inspecting the coverage, digging through the canopy, and then adjusting the pressure or nozzles as necessary. Many growers make the big mistake of not double-checking the application results. A few moments to check IS the difference in saving or losing a crop. BlueGold® can only work on a crop as well as it is applied. We recommend TJ60-8010VS nozzles and has an 80-degree fan and sprays 1 gallon per minute. Lesser degrees (example 60) have heavier droplets, so the wind does not interfere with the spray and is primarily meant to spray the soil. The 80-degree nozzle has a finer mist, so the droplets bounce all over and get optimum foliage coverage on a foliar spray. Lesser degrees can also require higher pressure (for example, 90 PSI) to get full function, and our recommendation requires 30-60 PSI (2-4 bar).

CAUTION: BLUEGOLD® CAL-KING MAGNIFIES WHAT IT COMES INTO CONTACT WITH.

BlueGold® Cal-King is an OMRI-listed Input (please contact your certifier before use). Rates depend on the PPM change needed. We recommend Apical Crop Science Soil and Sap testing. 

Do not use with synthetically enhanced or grow media with excesses of Na Sodium, Chlorides, Aluminum, Sulfur, Magnesium, Potassium, NO3/NH4, Iron, and Boron with BlueGold®. We strongly recommend avoiding ocean-based products high in Na Sodium, Chlorides, and other salts with our Solutions and Sulfur-based products, salt, and heavy metal humus, manures (primarily commercial), and composts (especially mushroom, dead animal, etc.), etc. These inputs are upside down with excesses. The BlueGold® Grow System is based on balanced Nutritionals. By itself, BlueGold®, at recommended rates using Apical Testing, will not harm ANY crop, plant, biology, system, human, animal, environment, pollinator, or beneficial (including birds, butterflies, earthworms, etc.). Do NOT combine with pesticides/chemicals/plant cleaners/etc. Very recent or current use of chemicals like fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, algaecides, bactericides, miticides, pesticides, biocides, fumigants, plant growth regulators, pH Up/Down chemicals, dyes, etc., – all can cause an unfavorable interaction due to the Wetting Agent properties of BlueGold® Solutions, which can magnify the strength of said chemical. Strengthened doses of those chemicals can result in direct stress, burning, or death of plants. BlueGold® Solutions by themselves, at recommended rates, without chemical interactions, will never cause these issues in any plant or soil (when used as directed). Users must respect BlueGold® labels and manufacturer warnings to not combine with chemical/synthetic/excess element inputs by +/- 90%. It is the user’s choice against our directions/recommendations. If you encounter problems in the plants from the previously mentioned by your choice, STOP. If you quickly move the pH to 6.4 with the help of pH adjusters, without adjusting inputs, you’re drastically making inputs more available, which results in stressed, burned, or dead plants from too big of a hit from the nutrients that are now available at a much higher % than previously. This is especially true when all the chemical/synthetic/excesses stored up flood the plants at even higher EC/PPM values. Likewise, if you do not adjust inputs while using BlueGold®, as soil/sap pH is driven to 6.4, the same can happen over an extended period depending on soil and watering conditions. Store in a cool place.

As the manufacturer, we offer a 100% Guarantee when used as directed, within the Eden Guaranteed Grow Program. A limited guarantee restricted to exclusive use with BlueGold® products and systems subject to the Apical soil, sap, water testing conditions, and Postal damages. No warranty or fitment of purpose promised.
