Atami VGN CalMag 1L - Veganic Calcium & Magnesium is a plant-derived liquid nutrient developed for soil-based growing and the wider Atami VGN veganic feeding programme.
Veganic calcium and magnesium supplementation without extra nitrogen. Supplied as one 1L bottle, this SKU is sold individually, not as a case or pallet.
Atami formulates VGN using plant-derived residual materials and positions the range around nutrient delivery alongside support for beneficial soil microorganisms. The VGN line is approved for use in organic farming by Control Union; this is a product-input approval, not a claim that any crop becomes certified organic simply by using it.
The range is designed for soil cultivation. Atami cautions that these organic liquids are less suitable for irrigation systems because they can generate odours and biofilm.
Why choose Atami VGN CalMag?
- Provides calcium and magnesium without adding nitrogen
- Useful where water is soft or low in calcium and magnesium
- Complements the VGN base-nutrient programme
- Suitable across growth stages when supplementation is required
- Made using plant-derived ingredients, without animal-derived components
- Part of a four-product veganic nutrient system for soil growing
- Approved for use in organic farming by Control Union
- Single 1L bottle per Shopify selling unit
Understanding the CalMag formulation
Calcium is important for normal cell-wall structure and developing tissues, while magnesium is central to chlorophyll. VGN CalMag is especially relevant where irrigation water contains little calcium or magnesium, such as soft tap water, collected rainwater or reverse-osmosis water.
Use when source-water analysis, crop requirements or growing conditions indicate that additional calcium and magnesium are needed. Unlike many conventional CalMag products, Atami describes this formulation as nitrogen-free, allowing supplementation without adding nitrogen to the nutrient programme.
Plant-based nutrition and soil biology
VGN is Atami’s veganic fertiliser range: its nutrient ingredients are derived from plants rather than animal by-products. Atami describes the line as a way to make productive use of residual plant materials from other industries, supporting a circular approach to fertiliser production.
Organic molecules in these products also provide inputs to the soil ecosystem. Beneficial microorganisms play a role in nutrient cycling and substrate health, although results depend on soil conditions, crop management and the wider growing programme.
Control Union approval relates to use as an input in organic farming. Growers working to a formal organic certification scheme should still check their certifier’s requirements and retain the relevant product documentation.
How much VGN CalMag should I use?
Atami’s product-level dosage guidance: 1–2ml per litre of water throughout the growing cycle, according to Atami.
The manufacturer also publishes stage-by-stage grow guides. Their rates can differ by crop type and growing programme, so use the guide appropriate to your crop rather than combining separate maximum rates automatically.
Begin conservatively when working with a new crop, monitor plant response and adjust feeding according to substrate, water quality, environmental conditions and the manufacturer’s latest instructions.
Mixing and application
Use clean tap or rainwater in a clean watering can or suitable mixing container. Start with approximately half of the required water volume, then measure the recommended amount of product.
Add VGN CalMag to water and stir before introducing the other VGN nutrients or additives.
Stir thoroughly and top up to the final water volume before applying to the growing medium. Never mix concentrated fertilisers directly together before dilution unless the manufacturer expressly instructs you to do so.
VGN is primarily intended for soil growing and manual or otherwise suitable application. Because of the organic formulation, Atami warns that it can cause odours and biofilm in irrigation systems.
How CalMag fits into the Atami VGN system
VGN 5-2-2: nitrogen-led base nutrient for leafy growth and general development. VGN 2-2-4: potassium-led base nutrient that complements 5-2-2 and allows the overall nutrient balance to be adjusted.
VGN 1-4-4: phosphorus- and potassium-led booster introduced around flowering and ripening. VGN CalMag: nitrogen-free calcium and magnesium supplement used when water quality or crop demand calls for it.
The two base nutrients form the foundation of the programme; the bloom booster and CalMag are supplementary tools rather than automatic replacements for balanced feeding. Follow Atami’s crop-specific feeding guidance when combining them.
Suitable plants and professional applications
The VGN range is intended for soil-grown crops including ornamental plants, flowering plants, container-grown edibles and other suitable horticultural crops. Select products according to the crop’s growth stage, nutritional needs and growing medium.
Commercial nurseries, specialist retailers and serious growers can use the four-product system to explain a coherent plant-based feeding approach rather than selling unrelated nutrient bottles. For crops grown in recirculating or drip-fed systems, review Atami’s compatibility warning before specifying VGN.
Handling, storage and good practice
Store the bottle securely, upright and according to the product label, away from unnecessary heat and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Measure doses accurately using clean equipment. Avoid contaminating the original container and do not store diluted nutrient solution for longer than the manufacturer recommends. Follow the product label for shelf life, storage conditions and any safety precautions.

Atami VGN CalMag 1L FAQs
What is Atami VGN CalMag used for?
Use when source-water analysis, crop requirements or growing conditions indicate that additional calcium and magnesium are needed. Unlike many conventional CalMag products, Atami describes this formulation as nitrogen-free, allowing supplementation without adding nitrogen to the nutrient programme.
What does veganic mean?
Veganic nutrition uses plant-derived inputs rather than animal-derived ingredients. Atami’s VGN range is designed around this approach.
Is VGN CalMag suitable for soil growing?
Yes. Atami identifies soil as the intended growing medium for VGN.
Can it be used in automated irrigation systems?
Atami says the organic VGN range is less suitable for irrigation systems because it may produce odours and biofilm.
What is the recommended dosage?
1–2ml per litre of water throughout the growing cycle, according to Atami.
Can I combine it with other VGN products?
Yes, where the Atami feeding guide calls for a combination. Dilute each product separately into water and avoid mixing concentrates directly.
Is this product approved for organic farming?
Atami states that the VGN range is approved for use in organic farming by Control Union. The grower remains responsible for meeting their own certification requirements.
What size is supplied on this listing?
One 1L bottle. Case and pallet quantities, if supplied elsewhere, are logistics figures rather than the selling unit.
Do I need all four VGN products?
Not necessarily. The two base nutrients form the core programme; the booster and CalMag are used according to growth stage, crop demand and water quality.
How should I store it?
Follow the product label, keep the original container closed and upright, and avoid contamination and unsuitable temperatures.
Does VGN CalMag add nitrogen?
No. Atami specifically describes VGN CalMag as nitrogen-free.
