Grow More® Maxi-Cal 10-0-0 Calcium Supplement with Magnesium & Micronutrients - 16 oz

Grow More® Maxi-Cal 10-0-0 is a concentrated calcium plant supplement designed to help correct calcium deficiencies and support the quality and development of fruits and vegetables. The formula provides 10% calcium along with magnesium and micronutrients to support healthy plant growth and proper nutrient balance.

Maxi-Cal is especially useful for crops with higher calcium requirements, including tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, melons, fruits, and vegetables. Adequate calcium availability supports strong plant tissue development and can help reduce calcium-deficiency-related problems such as blossom end rot in susceptible crops.

Packaged in a convenient 16 oz (473 mL) bottle, Grow More Maxi-Cal can be incorporated into horticultural, garden, greenhouse, and crop nutrition programs when supplemental calcium and micronutrients are needed.

What Is Grow More Maxi-Cal 10-0-0?

Grow More Maxi-Cal 10-0-0 is a specialized plant nutrient supplement formulated primarily to provide calcium. Calcium is an essential plant nutrient involved in cell wall development, new growth, fruit development, and overall plant structure.

The formula also provides magnesium and supplemental micronutrients, helping growers address multiple nutrient requirements with one product.

Key Benefits

• 10% calcium: Supplies supplemental calcium for plants with increased calcium requirements.
• Helps correct calcium deficiencies: Supports plants showing symptoms associated with inadequate calcium availability.
• Supports fruit and vegetable quality: Calcium is important for healthy plant tissue and fruit development.
• Helps manage blossom end rot: Supplemental calcium can help address calcium-related blossom end rot when calcium availability is a contributing factor.
• Contains magnesium: Provides an additional essential plant nutrient used in chlorophyll and normal plant growth.
• Includes micronutrients: Provides supplemental trace nutrients as part of a balanced crop nutrition program.
• Useful for many crops: Suitable for tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, melons, fruits, vegetables, and other calcium-demanding plants.
• Convenient 16 oz size: Easy to store, measure, and incorporate into home garden or professional growing programs.

Why Is Calcium Important for Plants?

Calcium plays an important structural role in plants. It supports the development of strong cell walls and is especially important in actively growing plant tissue, root tips, new leaves, flowers, and developing fruit.

Unlike some nutrients, calcium does not move easily from older plant tissue into new growth. Plants therefore need a consistent supply of available calcium through the root zone or an appropriate nutrient program.

Calcium Support for Tomatoes, Peppers, and Melons

Fruit-producing crops such as tomatoes, peppers, and melons can be particularly sensitive to calcium availability during fruit development. Insufficient calcium reaching developing fruit can contribute to physiological disorders such as blossom end rot.

Grow More Maxi-Cal provides supplemental calcium that can be incorporated into an overall fertility, irrigation, and crop-management program to maintain adequate calcium nutrition.

What Is Blossom End Rot?

Blossom end rot is a physiological condition commonly seen in tomatoes, peppers, and some other fruiting crops. It typically appears as a dark, sunken area near the blossom end of developing fruit and is associated with insufficient calcium reaching the developing tissue.

Calcium availability can be affected by several factors, including soil or media nutrient levels, inconsistent watering, root health, high salt levels, and rapid plant growth. For best results, calcium supplementation should be combined with proper irrigation and overall nutrient management.

Magnesium and Micronutrient Support

In addition to calcium, Maxi-Cal provides magnesium and micronutrients to support overall plant nutrition. Magnesium is an essential component of chlorophyll and plays an important role in photosynthesis.

Micronutrients are required in smaller quantities than primary nutrients but remain essential for normal plant metabolism, enzyme activity, growth, and crop development.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Grow More Maxi-Cal 10-0-0 used for?

Grow More Maxi-Cal is used to provide supplemental calcium, magnesium, and micronutrients to plants. It is particularly useful when additional calcium is needed to support healthy plant tissue, fruit development, and crop quality.

How much calcium is in Grow More Maxi-Cal?

Grow More Maxi-Cal contains 10% calcium.

What does 10-0-0 mean?

The 10-0-0 analysis refers to the product's nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium analysis. It contains 10% nitrogen and does not provide significant phosphorus or potassium as part of its N-P-K analysis.

Does Grow More Maxi-Cal contain magnesium?

Yes. Maxi-Cal provides magnesium in addition to calcium and supplemental micronutrients.

Can Grow More Maxi-Cal help with blossom end rot?

Grow More Maxi-Cal supplies calcium and can help address calcium-related blossom end rot when insufficient calcium availability is contributing to the problem. Proper watering and root-zone management are also important because blossom end rot can occur even when calcium is present if the plant cannot efficiently transport it to developing fruit.

Can I use Maxi-Cal on tomatoes?

Yes. Tomatoes are one of the crops for which supplemental calcium is commonly used. Maintaining adequate calcium availability can support healthy tomato development and help reduce calcium-deficiency-related disorders.

Can Grow More Maxi-Cal be used on peppers?

Yes. Maxi-Cal can be incorporated into a nutrient program for peppers, particularly where supplemental calcium is needed during plant and fruit development.

Can Maxi-Cal be used on melons?

Yes. Grow More Maxi-Cal is suitable for melons and other fruiting crops requiring supplemental calcium as part of their nutrient program.

Is Grow More Maxi-Cal only for vegetables?

No. While it is commonly used with vegetables, Maxi-Cal can also be used with fruit crops and other plants requiring supplemental calcium, magnesium, and micronutrients.

Is Grow More Maxi-Cal a fertilizer?

Yes. Maxi-Cal is a supplemental plant nutrient product with an N-P-K analysis of 10-0-0 and 10% calcium, along with magnesium and micronutrients.

Why do plants need calcium?

Plants use calcium to support cell wall formation, growing points, root development, new leaves, flowers, and developing fruit. A consistent calcium supply is particularly important because calcium has limited mobility within the plant.

What causes calcium deficiency in plants?

Calcium deficiency can result from inadequate calcium in the root zone, poor root development, inconsistent watering, excessive salts, nutrient imbalance, or environmental conditions that limit calcium movement through the plant.

Will adding calcium always fix blossom end rot?

Not necessarily. Blossom end rot is associated with insufficient calcium reaching developing fruit, but the underlying cause may be irregular watering, root stress, rapid growth, high salinity, or poor calcium availability. Calcium supplementation works best as part of a complete irrigation and fertility program.

What size bottle is Grow More Maxi-Cal?

This product contains 16 fluid ounces (473 mL).

What is the UPC for Grow More Maxi-Cal 16 oz?

The UPC for this 16 oz Grow More Maxi-Cal product is 080986130014.
