Well waterIs there any instantly available cal mag teas that can be made?
I've got ridiculously hard well water, it seemed to seriously mess my plants up when I decided to try it last grow and I switched back to distilled pretty fast..Well water![]()
Im just being a smart ass. Now why do you want a tea?? Are you in ammended soil. Store bought?? A bit of background may help in finding what your looking for. I will note that majority of calcium and or magnesium problems are from a bad ration of ca to mg. Which will look oit mg. Should be double ca> mg.Is there any instantly available cal mag teas that can be made?
That's my #tipoftheday. I didn't know that I'm actually in pro mix with lightly ammended soil, vermiculite, left over castins and extra blood and bone I had around nothing to in depth, looking to do a subcool batch next time plants go in. I'm using FF atm at 1\2 ratios when plants look like they need it.Im just being a smart ass. Now why do you want a tea?? Are you in ammended soil. Store bought??

Ok. Subcool method works. But so do many strsngew styles of growing. What i dont like is this theory that the roots get to the super soil at bottum when the need more nutrition. Healthy plants will conplelty fill pots within a few weeks if not less. So logically this theory of richer soil for later in cycle doesnt make any sense. A good ammended living soil is where its at. Lots of castings.That's my #tipoftheday.

That's awesome man I'll probably take you up on that organic is entirely where I want to be haven't heard ANYTHING bad or controversial plus can't beat taste.Ok. Subcool method works.

But do what you can. I have some very good water only recipes which really kick ass. Lb per 600 watts easy. Of the darkest smoke. Check my journals. Will be updating will new recipes and methods within a few weeks.
But getting away from bottled nutrients is the first step and i hope everything continue s towards fully organic for ya. Pm mr anytime for questions or concerns. Good luck friend!!
Or potency. There is this misconception that yoi cant get top shelf meds. Strength wise. Taste. And allowing for full genetic potential with organics. Untrue. I did have smaller yields early on in my organic switch. But youll get dialed in. Just havested 64 oz of 3 600 watt blockbusters. I had 12 plants per light though. But these yields were unbelievable. And again i get 25-50$ more per zip than my competitors.That's awesome man I'll probably take you up on that organic is entirely where I want to be haven't heard ANYTHING bad or controversial plus can't beat taste.
Yeah i wqs gunna add this point. Even a simple sediment/ carbon filter would br a better bet than distilled.good home made ewc, epsom.salt, molasses kelp has everything in it literally. What's the ppm of you city or tap water. You need to get rid of distilled water it does nothing for you at all
I do too, my well water is very hard, but I use it still.I've got ridiculously hard well water, it seemed to seriously mess my plants up when I decided to try it last grow and I switched back to distilled pretty fast..
I also read that too much mg can lead to tight soil, too much ca the opposite?Im just being a smart ass. Now why do you want a tea?? Are you in ammended soil. Store bought??

Not sure on that one. Cacium in the form of oyster shells i would assume loosen and helps drainage.I also read that too much mg can lead to tight soil, too much ca the opposite?
I don't think so, but I could be wrong, in my eyes, the only thing that connects to that is your actual physical soil mix, more specifically if you are using peat...I also read that too much mg can lead to tight soil, too much ca the opposite?
Youve been nothing but helpful with me, I couldn't find where I initially read that excess mg makes compact soil but they have a small read here. Its under the magnesium section.I don't think so, but I could be wrong, in my eyes, the only thing that connects to that is your actual physical soil mix, more specifically if you are using peat...
But that's why I like to use water retaining aeration, keep the soil tension from being a problem.
I also like to keep the soil rather "fluffy" when I transplant... One of my primary complaints about ROLS
Hey anytime anyone can show me that I am wrong and i'm the happiest guy out there man.Youve been nothing but helpful with me, I couldn't find where I initially read that excess mg makes compact soil but they have a small read here. Its under the magnesium section.
(Im not contradicting you, just trying to learn and curious what you think about this paragraph on magnesium. Thanks buddy.)
Right on bud, just want to be respectful towards ya and make sure you know Im not trying to be a wise guy. Im waiting on that living soil and whatnot to show up. Im excited to start using it, will contact you when its all setup.Hey anytime anyone can show me that I am wrong and i'm the happiest guy out there man.
No ego here.
I'm here to help others and to learn a lil myself, in my mind, that's EXACTLY what an intelligent forum is for.
That's precisely why I prefaced my last post with "i could be wrong"
