you add a tsp of cal mag to 1 gallon of water... thats DEPLETED calmag not full strength... what percent do you think that makes calcium/magnesium in a gallon of water? it sure isn't 5% or higher.. probably in the 1% or lower range.. so molasses does carrie enough calcium and magnesium your just thinking inside the box.

but thats still besides the point... the calcium and magnesium he's still getting from not only molasses but in sea bird guano and in trace amounts in that one damn chemical i can't think of.. he's using it though and we talked about it.

I can absolutely assure everyone on here that my issue is not ph related I did not use dolomite in my soil but I also did not use it my last 3 grows and those plants turned out fine the soil takes on the ph of whatever you feed them I have calibrated my Hanna meter over and over again I use the hi 98127 model I don't know how I could possibly be more accurate with my ph
brother soil breaks down and usually becomes acidic is why i asked about dolomiite ....... this dude is a twat and will always be one ....... instead of putting a band aid on a gun shot wound you could mix a lighter more airy soil in the future to remedy the problem before hand ...... which would be why i asked about compaction ......... you could be growing in a scoop of soil out of your yard , shoved it in a gym sock and planted a seed in it for all he knows ...... he never asked because of his egotistical superiority complex ....... probably why he medicates with marijuana in hopes of leading a somewhat normal life ......... my plants arent burnt up i must be doing something wrong

overwatering causes a MANUAL LOCK OUT of nutrients due to a lack of oxygen ......... wouldnt it be simpler just to let the soil dry out more between waterings ......... just tossing that out there

oh my god straight nutes... what happened? that I've never done.. i had a ph pen go bad.. didn't know it.. fed 4.0 maybe lower water for a month to my crops... all fried to hell
they burned badly ........ i dont ph my water im not a slave to the PH ..... proper soil should handle whatever you throw at it within reason ..... maybe if i started to PH my plants would burn up and i could fit in with the cool kids

well i can see one plantain the pics in the back respodng to ph issues.... its not being a slave to .. you can drink acidic water as a human for years ... its water.. but your health vs a persona who drinks clean ph neutral filtered water is going to be way different from the guy who drinks crappy acidic water out of the ganga river... lets really break it down to how it is...

high times posted a gurellia grow article months back a reporter followed cartel growers to show their crops and conditions.. the plants they grew were always cloned from previous vegs.. the soils they grew in were so high in PH they had salt crystals forming on top of the soil... now the plants reacted and grew fine... WHY? because they have adapted.. all plants will adapt to your conditions eventually.. but its the major PH swings or CONSTANT ph swings that cause the issues... if your stable at 7.6 and your strains adapted or responds well fine.. but your not going to get a clone off my mothers that has been for a year at 6.5 and stick it in 7.5 soil ad have it respond hearty instantly....its a classic only the strong survive case by case thing.

yep overwater okay.. yep same look my bad.. thats one harder one to see unless you see close pic.. HIGH ph creates the same curl as overwatering... sorry about that...

i love positronics purple haze #1 and i fell in love with a really long flower pheno like 14 week's ...... unfortunately it also veg's very sloow so i crossed a kc45 male and then started breeding for the haze traits i liked ....... the stretchy ones are actually semi auto's they flower around 16/8 or so the rest were the haze like cull's

honestly think it was more of a N tox the majority of it, cause it had so much soil washing down nutrients to the bottom .... looked like shit didnt yield but maybe a couple zips in the end but was speedy to say the least
