Hello Everybody,
I posed the question of using CaCl to treat Calcium deficiency, and an interesting topic came up: The use of chlorides to boost single elements. The main concern of course is toxicity, so I'm also going to see how far I can push it before it becomes too much using coco as a substrate.
Hope this is the right place for this thread, seeing as not many people have played with it I thought the best heads would hang out here. I'm kinda in the deep-end with this one. My little dance with the devil
I was just curious if it's safe, but it seems I'm going to have to find out for myself
Test subject is a little Diesel I'm not intending to run. SEVERE deficiency clearly apparent. I took some pics, the Diesel but also a Bubba showing signs as little 'burned' looking spots on leaf edges, and a little Skunk that's showing it as the yellowing towards the leaf centre. I really took a good overall of the symptoms across plants ranging from 2 to 4 weeks old.
I recently switched from hard water to my new rain water tanks... A lesson well learned that was indeed.
Any suggestions as to how to go about this are welcome, at first I'm going to make a foliar spray and give it a few days to work to answer my 'will it work' query, then I'll start adding it to the nute mix SLOWLY. I'll post all the relevant measurements including dry weight of powder dissolved into how much water etc. Still working on where to start, I was thinking foliar feed with one quarter teaspoon added to 3 litres of water...
Any and all input from interested parties will be awesome!
