i love the organic setup, do any of u use epsom salt? i suppose im not 100% organic cause i use epsom salt in the soil mix. however, i am on the road to full organic, and my results have easily matched and surpassed a chem grow.. well, in quality. and my quanity is not far behind at all.

I use Epsom salt .. But not for dee organic girls, lol.
A fusion of styles is understandable
but what's great, is that you're seeing the power of organics and letting go of the needless chem way
Most are too set in their ways .. to learn new ways
Cheers
To learning the best ways

Well, well, well...
Strictly classic heirloom Sativa in this curing drawer...
Who would have thought,
The Dons would bring back the Canadian essence of outdoor summers of the late 80's one cold winter way later in 2015, indoors no less. Oh, and in organic fashion, no less..
Wow. That calls for a pronto bowl of Lightning Haze

Epsom salts are supposed to be good for Sulphur decencies though, even in organics ..
Which is yellowing new leaves, similar to what our little flowering jack may have.
Organic soils supposed to be high in S but of not can use gypsum or if using Epsom, Mixed at ratio of one tsp per gallon of clean water.
I'm wondering if neeming the soil led to an S lock up.
Meanwhile, the smaller Forrest is showing potential N and P shortage .. Two bottom leaves are yellow as well as some brown rusty spots.
Interesting to read diatomaceous earth rocks make a good mulch that is resistant to gnats, thrips, and other pests that need to fall to soil, while being an evaporation-slower and natural nutrient source:
86% silica
5% sodium
3% magnesium
2% iron

Sounds like it may be tea time. Or even a top-dressing of WC should do the trick.

Okay, with that being said, i recommend epsom salt to the budding organic farmer. works fast and it really stimulates micro life.

The Journey Continues...
Things have really progressed in a variety of aspects. Everything from DIY lighting to dialled in soil mixes. My focus these days, when I'm not building lights, is growing common garden vegetables.
I have never grown tomatoes before and the five varieties I have started have me quite excited. The five varieties include Black Krim, Centennial Rocket, Sunsugar, Black Cherry and Sweetie. Maturation times range from 50 to 80 days. They were started in a coco/perlite blend under DIY LED lighting near the end of April. They all got off to a slow start and struggled with low temps and high humidity but really took off after gradually being set outside. All will be grown in a custom soil mix with added organic cattle manure and powdered eggshells. The majority will be grown out in a raised planter bed made from reclaimed wood. The earliest variety, Centennial Rocket, will be done in a five gallon bucket. Here is a shot of the CRs starting to bud.
Any other tomato growers out there?
