Looking to upgrade my nutrient regime for my indoor setup and was considering Fox Farms. If you use FF, which one are you using?

Grow Big is a 6-4-4, Tiger Bloom is 2-8-4, Big Bloom is 0-.5-.7

Have you needed to supplement with cal- mag?

Thinking of using Happy Frog potting soil in conjunction with their liquid fertilizers

When I switched to in ground is when I started to struggle with BER from watering. I think it was because they didn't start to wilt until 5-6 days after watering some weeks, and really needed to be watered more regularly than that

And yeah, you're absolutely right that there's no real downside to using calmag. I just point it out because sometimes it isn't enough to fix BER, but it tends to get a reputation as the Ultimate BER Solution:)

Agreed. I’m hoping to get my garden set up on an automated soaker hose at some point to rule out any irregular watering issues. Will keep that in mind that they might need more frequent water now than I’m used to providing.
