Calcium

How to ensure the plant has ca? I heard that boiling eggs and using the water on your plants can help, but kinda skeptical.
Any tips?

Any info..?

By adding any calicium source to your feeding schedule. SensiCal Mg and CalMag+ are both very good product.

unfortunalty there is only garden supply store i know of, and its very far away. Is there any ghetto way to do this at home?

I have no clue what is a good source of calicium for plant. I just faced Calicium Def. went out, bought SensiCal Mg and took care of the problem.
Cheers.

Powdered Dolomite Lime

Supplys both cal/mag and keeps the soil pH right.

Helps to prevent so many problems, especially with pH, it would be worth the trip to the garden shop. Lowes, HD and those kind of places carry it also, it's a very common product.

Aiight i guess its a trip to the garden store. Thanks all
With the powdered dolomite lime, am I looking for an actual powder? Then I dissolve it in water or what?

Dolomite lime is ground up rock, that's why you need the powder.

It also comes in granular/pellet form, but this takes months to years to fully break down. I use this in my garden, but I also use the same spot year after year, so the long term is a good thing.

Do not get hydrated. This releases too fast and you can burn plants if you don't know how to work with it.

It doesn't really dissolve, but will 'suspend' in water and you can water it in. Use 2 tbl/gallon of soil, or 1cup/cf.

Works best if you mix it into your soil first, dry, so do that in the future. Same rates and it will prevent a host of problems.

It is slow release at best, so don't look for any changes for at least a week after watering it in. LOL It will work, just not overnight.

Thanks for the info.

also a small amount of fish bone meal works well.
use it when transplanting and put a 1 tbsp per gallon of soil, if your are using soil...
