Remember base ferts have magnesium in them as does calmag which has lots in, don't overload plants on magnesium basically too much cus Epson Salts is pure magnesium. :)

Don't get floaty bits ive never seen that happen but it sometimes it turns milky for about 5 minutes before all coming back together and good, clear as crystal again, but the milky look is ferts and such like separating not mixing properly as they should (obviously) Tis said add silicon firstly, but my lazy bones goes opposite. Fuck fucking around adding shit one day or firstly for a few hours or so and waiting before adding other base ferts etc, fuck that for a game of soldiers man. I did used to add it firstly like 15 years ago but nah too much fucking around man.

Yes we here peeps saying "but it says on bottle add firstly before anything else" some base ferts and such like also say give seedlings 2 and 3ml per liter or whatever, but we don`t do we cus it would kill them. Theirs more than one way to skin a cat mixing it mukka .

Here`s what i do. Add your base ferts firstly and everything else before adding silicon last, it may or may not turn cloudy/milky, give it a good stir then ph down very lastly stirring really well and it will bring everything back together and bang on, its all about the acid (ph-) which smartens everything up to bang on. I've used it this way for must be 10-15 years now and i mix up 80liters a time adding around 6 or 7ml of ph-, i never get problems doing it this way and everything is mixed in like ten minutes or less. I use Growth Technology Silicon and also use their PH- down which is sulfuric acid cus i know some of the lesser aggressive ph downs aren`t, take Dutch Pro which is phosphoric acid and much less aggressive so more is needed.

hi high i think it better to up base nutes and use veg nutes for first 2 weeks of flower and rarely if ever do i give cal or mag i use dutch pro nutes but dosing is similar to canna which i presume your using? 2.5-3ml pr ltr is what i average feed,some of my strains have bigger appetite and require a little more nitrogen than most the tangie is a meager feeder whereas the vanilla kush indica pheno looks pale under 1.4 ec (bg 0.40) and i find autos better with low ec 1 ec seems adequate for most and there easy overfed,so id just up the base nutes and see what happens after a week,imo people forget base nutes have all the cal and mag plus a bunch of micronutrients not present in cal/mag,good luck
