    Thanks for the heads up. So epsoms salts will fix a magnesium deficiency, you say?


    I usually use a light mixture of bone meal/blood meal into the soil when transplanting. I'll have to check again but I don't think either one does anything for magnesium.

    • WANT THE BIGGEST HIT POSSIBLE?? Vaporize! Because of the cool mist nature of vapor that the Vaporbrothers produces you will be able to take bigger hits and hold them longer than with any bong, iced or otherwise. Take the challenge, but do it sitting down! Support GrowKind by buying Vape Pens and Vaporizers from Vaporwarehouse.

    Don't do anything unless it shows. But yes, epsom fixes mag deficiency, and no blood meal/bone meal doesn't have magnesium.


    cheers,

    Sorry If I was unclear Shadow. I was saying don't water with epsom if you don't experience a deficiency.


    here's the mix is used as a general guide in my last garden. If you use Miracle Grow soil or something similar do NOT use this recipe.


    4 cu ft pulverized garden soil (cheap stuff at any nursery)


    1 cubic foot perlite - You can up this to your own preference. Generally 50/50 is the absolute max.


    4 cups Bone Meal - phosphorus source


    4 cups Blood Meal - nitrogen source


    1 1/3 cups Epsom salts - magnesium source


    3-4 cups dolomite lime -calcium source & pH buffering


    4 cups Fish/Seaweed emulsion - N.P.K., vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, growth hormones and chelated trace elements


    Worm castings are an excellent addition but i'll admit to being lazy and not adding it in. Use about a 15lb bag to the above.


    good luck!

    RR, that sounds like a groovy plant buffet. The soil I use I called "Expert Gardener". CHeapest stuff they had at wal-mart. I actually try to find plain soil that doesn't have added plant food, but it seems hard to locate here. Usually I prefer Hyponex . Hyponex is a dark, rich soil and grows most fruit-bearing plants pretty well. Can't find it out here, though, so I got this other crap.

    Never used Hyponex. I know it's a Scott product but have no idea about it's make-up. Just checked the Expert Gardener stuff. It has a chem fert added NPK= 0.11-0.04-0.08. Use the above recipe but leave out the blood/bone meal and you should be good to go. With enriched soils its best to go light until you get more familiar with the product.


    I get the pulverized black dirt or soil from local nurseries or garden centers for about $3 for a 4 cu bag. I usually have to ask for it and pick it up around back. Never seen it on the shelves. If you have a truck and room I know you can buy a truckload for $30 per half yard. That's how I buy it for outdoor gardening and top dressing the yard.


    cheers,
