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

Thanks. I will try that.

Keep an eye on the cats too.

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.

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

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

found this guy spraying Jaz Rose Spray. it can be considered a sar response. his tests state an increase in trichs.

Not doubting you at all lol. As I grow in water Kitty litter is probably not the best choice but ya I'll google it.

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

from a quick read it sounds like it might also kill myco?

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

That would depend on what you intend to do with it?

My plans are to flower clones from outdoor vegging plants for an early harvest. Then maybe later in the season taking 1 plant from start to finish with the help of CFLs. Not much space for 2 full size plants.

 

[RM3]

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

Thank you for the info! Should I play around with bulb placement in fixture or is there a specific arrangement that should work best?

 

[RM3]

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

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

I actually stopped awhile back (because I had also changed a few bulbs) and am startin back up now that I have the blue dialed in. I went by the recommended 1 tablespoon to a gallon of water, hittin em every morning after the flip. I will now do a side by side with 2 clones
