I use,,,,,
Jack's Citrus FeED 20-10-20 has 4.9% sulfur
Jack's Aquagold Finisher 7-15-30 has 9% sulfur
Gypsum for Cal, it is Calcium Sulfate 18% sulfur
Epsom for Mag it is Magnesium Sulfate 13% sulfur
and Potassium Sulfate 0-0-50 has 18% sulfur

There are no worries with toxicity when using sulfates

I use the Wal Mart Special Kitty Unscented Clay Litter Blue & Red bag 25 lbs for $3 simply rinse it off (is very dusty) and mix it with peat 50/50

Thanks, I was worried about mag tox using Epsom salts but you clarified that for me.
I grow in peat already so your suggesting I mix the litter half and half like I normally do with perlite? Skip the perlite?
Again thanks.

I use sunshine mix#4 which has perlite in it already, but I don't add any more just the kitty litter, so I would skip the perlite

I also add 1/8 to a 1/4 teaspoon of epsom with every feed, a little goes a long way

I would have thought the clay would have retained the water to much. Guess thats why u should never assume things. Kitty litter huh, go figure.

This isn't my thread and I'm not gona come here spouting my thoughts..
But increasing temp at canopy obviously speeds transpiration and a little extra vac to suck shit out the roots, as long as their feet stay cool, all is dandy, this prevents evaporation in the rootbed and allows concentrations\ec and what not to be lower. also effectively reducing the side effects of root bound plants. What yiur suggesting with ammonia or whatever really isn't a good idea. And frankly increasing those "openings" is unnecessary. Though inducing a sort of sar response would be interesting

It's based on Al Tapla's Gritty Mix, He is a regular garden guru, Google it

That is true, I am also playing with Insect Frass for the same response

Hey @RM3 question if I may, I'm thinking of getting a 6 bulb T5ho panel for a small space. What do you think is a good spectrum mix for this panel? I was thinking maybe 1 of each ATI bulbs. What about the other 4 bulb slots? Here's a link to the fixture I'm going to use

RM3 said:

in that case do 1 true actinic, 1 GE 4100K, 2 Coral Plus and 2 Plantmax 6500K

RM3 said:

I put the actinic and 4100 in the middle with the blues on the outside, so like
6500,coral,4100,actinic,coral,6500

mudballs said:

gotta bug you a few more seconds here...at what stage of the plants growth did you start foliar spraying the frass? did you use the bottles recommended mix or modify it with your own teas? just wanna duplicate what you do when the time comes
