Spinach and brocolli brewed into a tea as a cal/mag fix?

[MR.NICE.GUY.1990]

As the title implies, I was wondering if raw spinach and brocolli, of which I have an abundance of in the garden, could be brewed into an aact with some e.w.c, molasses, and some bio dynamic compost to solve a calcium magnesium deficiency?

Spinach is crazy high in magnesium, brocolli high in calcium

Not going to help if you are locked out due to low PH, what is the PH of the medium ? If PH is low I would go with something like Oystershell flour to bring up the PH and add calcium. IF PH is good you could add gypsum which will add calcium and not effect PH much. Magnesium is easy to fix with some Omri Epsom Salts And making a foliar spray. So you know the problem which is a great first step but what is the cause? Is the mag and cal there and just locked out or are you low on those nutrients. Throwing a tea on a already low PH medium is more then likely going to lower the PH even more. I could see using spinach and broccoli as amendments for sure not going to hurt anything not sure if they are going to be great at fixing deficiencies. But like my favorite doctor says the only way to find out is to put it to the test.

Right on, lol. I just experimenting with new I deas. The cal/mag deficiency is almost 100% due to me mixing coco into the medium, unless it's not, idk I'm really just kinda diving head first into this whole organics thing. It's a little side project I have going. The base mix is coco, lava rock, peat moss, and ewc. I was gonna throw some bio char in, but I had to use the rest of the biochar I had made on my 45 gallon mother pot.

This is my new veg tent as I'm making the full transition into organics from bottled nutes. The base mix for my soil is 40% lava rock, 20% spaghnum peat moss, 20% e.w.c, 10% top soil, and 10% charged bio char. Kelp meal, alfalfa, gypsum, mineral mix at 4 1/2 cups per cubic foot, crustacean meal, neem cake. Top dress with comfrey and worm casting once in my 15 gal pots

No Ph reading ? Without one kinda just guessing but I would say with no oystershell to buffer the PH you could very well have low PH causing calcium and mag. to be unavailable . But dont guess you have a water PH meter pen I am guessing if you used bottled nutes, so do a slurry test to find out the PH.

Is this regarding my super soil mix. I just transplanted a week ago and theres no immediate signs of stress. They are kind of dark in the leaves though
