Just thought I would pass this on to those naturalist. Ok now don't get all crazy and bash me. Anyway the only water I have access to is from a well, the water is very high in PH, well over 7.4. So when I mix up my water in 5 gallon pails I actually use Lemon Juice From Concentrate to lower the PH to acceptable levels. Works great and is cheap and natural. Take it or "leaf" it... LOL... Also, if you want a cheap way to test your PH level in water go to your local fish/pet store and pick up a tester for as little as 5 or 6 dollars and you will be able to do at least 50 tests or maybe 100.. I havn't run out yet....... Peace. (Edited by CanadianConnection at 8:42 pm on Sep. 8, 2005)
#Moderation Mode Makes sense since lemon juice is highly acidic. Thanks for the info. Gonna move this over to organics for us 'naturalists'. Moved here

SULFUR Sulfur is absorbed by plants as SO4, and it is a chief component of amino acids, essential for protein synthesis. It also strongly effects a plant's bouquet. Sulfur is a non-mobile element. Symptoms of sulfur deficiency are similar to nitrogen deficiency, except the symptoms appear first in the upper leaves: New leaves appear light green to yellowish. Small spindly plants. Retarded growth and delayed maturity. Referenced from: To" target="_blank">http://www.allamericanhydro.com/workboo....63 To answer your question, no I do not remove the sulfer.
