Cutting Edge Solutions® Mag Amped™ Magnesium-Sulfur Supplement — 32oz

Cutting Edge Solutions® Mag Amped™ Magnesium-Sulfur Supplement — 32oz

Cutting Edge Solutions® Mag Amped™ delivers soluble magnesium and sulfur in a passively absorbed formula designed to maintain optimal magnesium nutrition across the full production cycle. Magnesium deficiency is widespread in high-production hydroponic and soilless growing programs — calcium competes with magnesium at root uptake sites, and heavy vegetative growth rapidly depletes available Mg from the root zone. Mag Amped™ addresses this by supplying magnesium in a formulation optimized for passive uptake, ensuring reliable absorption even when cation competition is high.

Magnesium occupies the center of every chlorophyll molecule — without adequate Mg, chlorophyll synthesis is impaired and photosynthetic efficiency drops measurably, producing the interveinal chlorosis on older leaves that is the hallmark symptom of Mg deficiency. Beyond chlorophyll, magnesium activates dozens of enzymes involved in protein synthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, and RNA polymerase function — making it essential for every phase of plant growth from root initiation to fruit development. Sulfur, also provided by Mag Amped™, supports amino acid synthesis, protein formation, and enzyme cofactor availability throughout the crop cycle. At higher concentrations, Mag Amped™ acts as a rapid corrective treatment for visible magnesium deficiency symptoms.

Key Features & Benefits

• Passive Uptake Optimization — Soluble Mg formulation engineered for efficient passive absorption, reducing deficiency risk even when Ca:Mg cation competition is elevated in the root zone.
• Promotes Chlorophyll Synthesis — Adequate magnesium supply ensures the uninterrupted formation of chlorophyll, maintaining photosynthetic efficiency and leaf color throughout the production cycle.
• Activates Enzymes & Protein Synthesis — Magnesium is a cofactor for RNA polymerase and dozens of metabolic enzymes essential to plant growth at all stages.
• Root Development Support — Promotes root initiation and development, supporting the root system expansion that underpins nutrient and water uptake capacity.
• Low-Temperature Tolerance — Adequate magnesium nutrition improves the plant's ability to maintain metabolic function at low temperatures, reducing cold stress setbacks in seasonally variable environments.
• Rapid Magnesium Deficiency Correction — At higher concentrations, Mag Amped™ provides fast corrective magnesium nutrition for plants displaying visible interveinal chlorosis symptoms.

Who Should Use This

Hydroponic, soilless, and soil growers running calcium-heavy base nutrient programs — where Ca:Mg competition routinely suppresses magnesium uptake — benefit from Mag Amped™ as a routine supplement added at every watering. It is particularly valuable in coco coir growing systems, which have a natural cation exchange affinity for calcium over magnesium, making supplemental Mg nutrition essential for maintaining crop health throughout the production cycle.

Compatibility

Apply at every watering as part of a complete nutrient program. Compatible with all Cutting Edge Solutions® products and other commercially available hydroponic and soil nutrients. Pair with Plant Amp™ calcium supplement for a complete secondary nutrient program. Formulated for hydroponics, soilless media, continuous feed, drain-to-waste, and soil systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I identify magnesium deficiency?

Classic Mg deficiency presents as interveinal chlorosis (yellowing between the veins while veins remain green) on older, lower leaves — because magnesium is mobile in the plant and will be pulled from older tissue to support new growth under deficient conditions. In severe cases, older leaves may develop necrotic edges.

What is the ideal Ca:Mg ratio in a hydroponic solution?

A general guideline for most crops is a Ca:Mg ratio of approximately 3:1 to 5:1 by ppm. Specific requirements vary by crop and growth stage — monitor plant tissue appearance and adjust Ca and Mg supplementation to maintain visual crop health.

Can Mag Amped be applied as a foliar spray?

Magnesium can be applied foliarly for rapid corrective action on visible deficiency. Consult Cutting Edge Solutions®' published foliar dilution rates and apply during lights-off or in low-light conditions to minimize evaporation and potential leaf burn.

Is Mag Amped compatible with calcium supplements?

Yes — Mag Amped™ and Plant Amp™ can be used together as a complementary secondary nutrient program. Maintain an appropriate Ca:Mg balance for your crop; avoid over-supplementing either nutrient at the expense of the other.
