Sounds like a fun experiment. I'd like to mention a few things you didn't.
First, OMRI certification means that a product is approved for organic crop production but not necessarily that the OMRI certified product is made from organically produced/sourced products. I assume the vast majority...
Seeds here now has great descriptions of all the crosses from the latest drop.
@GrownAtHighAltitude nailed the descriptions of northern lights afaik
When matt riot and that other dude interviewed seattle greg, he said nl1 was a cross of steve murphy's afghan and a mazar-i-sharif that nevil...
I came back because I realized that increasing the volume of the soil by using the same soil will keep the ppms of all nutrients the same as ppms are a ratio to begin with not the total amount in the soil. That brings me back to saying the correct course of action is to increase the amount of...
It seems like you just want to argue with me because you keep twisting my words....or you don't read carefully. I wrote there is no reason to up-pot a plant to provide proper nutrition. Yes, it will increase the amount of nutrients in proportion to the increase in soil volume. If there are only...
That chart may apply to the soil solution which is basically the nutrients in the water portion of the soil, but it has absolutely zero correlation to the composition of the soil which is what I was talking about. There are cation exchange sites in the soil where the positive ions(cations)...
Ok. I'm done then. I'm sure you'll be happy that you won't have to have any of your beliefs challenged anymore. If you ever take a moment to read slownickel's thread on I-c-m-a-g or read "more food from soil chemistry" you"ll see what I mean. I'm not an idiot.
It's apparent to me that y'all will never believe anything I write regardless of how much "proof" I provide, but high calcium does not block the uptake of p or k. Low calcium will definitely block p uptake though. Hard water isn't good for nutrient availability. It's more likely the hard water...
Hey Kass, ask and you shall receive. I stumbled upon this video with two soil consultants that learned some things from the same agronomist I did(Mike Crady/@slownickel). One of the consultants(Matt LePlante) had 8 or 10 different bagged soils analyzed. He happened to test two bags of FFOF from...
You certainly are in a quandry there with changing soil pH by top dressing. At least topdressing with lime will give you more ca and mg, but I'd be surprised if it changes the pH of the lower half of the pots. Still worth a shot imo. Since lime takes a long time to become available, I'd mix it...
