How to Make Your Own Sulphur/Potash/Calcium Fertilizer Out of Chamomile

  • Chamomile contains sources of calcium, potash and sulphur
  • Pour 2-4 cups of clean, chlorine-free/chloramine-free boiling water over ¼ cup chamomile blossoms
  • Let steep until cool, (I like to pull flowers at 3 minute mark) strain and place in spray bottle
  • Use when cool and dark if possible
  • foliar solution will keep for about 1 week
  • Apply once or twice in the first 10 days of flower


How to Make Your Own Sulphur/Magnesium Foliar Out of Epsom Salts

  • Personally I like to use only 1/8 to 1/4 tsp per Litre and
  • just mist them gently twice in the 1st 2-weeks when fruits just first start to set.

In plants, magnesium helps with
  • chlorophyll production,
  • mineral absorption,
  • fruit development,
  • strengthening cell walls,
  • and improving uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur.

Sulfur helps
  • produce vitamins,
  • amino acids, and
  • enzymes.

Calcium, hugely affected by transpiration rates,
  • regulates root density, length,
  • plus hormones that affect growth,
  • combat thermal stress,
  • help with cell division,
  • cell wall strength, and
  • numerous other micro-processes.
Together, they bless the plant proper.

Calcium and potassium compete with magnesium for uptake by plant roots, and magnesium often loses. Sometimes, a soil test will show adequate magnesium levels in soil, but a plant grown in that soil may still be deficient because of that competition. So always good to do a couple gentle mg foliars right as flowers set. I recommend 1/2 tsp per gallon only not a full TBSP. Here, plants are so sticky, so greasy, they glue your fingers shut and then leave a terpy grease once you break apart. It's more than enough to ensure the synergy!

Bless your garden, brothas and sistrens..

Great info! Ive always treated Cal/Mag and sulfur as secondary macro nutrients, alot of growers dont. You are spot on!

Not sure how many honestly. I can tell you theres a total of 18 clones. Broke up between 2 18gallon rubbermaids. 6 plants on the left tub and 8 on the right tub.
Soil is homemade as always but with extra drainage. I used quarts silica in addittion to sand, granite, perlite, hydroton, hydro corn, rice hulls and theres one other that looks like chiped stone but its very similar to perlite. The soil is 100% veganic and functions just like a hempy with hydration comming from the bottom rez, wicking upwards. I also have airlines in each to increase 02 directly at the root zone.
But if i had to guestimate colas per plant, id say 6 - 8. Each cola is on average 10+", their quite heavy actually and are starting to fall over.

Yummy!!!!!!! How many days did you take her?
Dude you have a phenomenal camera to be getting clarity like that!

Freebie or not, theres tons of people that would be more than happy with that bean. Every plant and every pheno has unlocked genetic potential, in the right hands that freebie turns into rare and out if stock, lol.

Its actually a macro lens I got from Marshall's brotha! shoot, while in line buying some workout sweats I spotted this $12 come up and haven't looked back since! Comes with a wide angle and fish eye to but the macro is the best. Just rocking it as an attachment on the iPad and various phones, its nuts. But I want photos like @Chronikool who would be doing them WAY more justice with their lens.
But Im still printing the best I got, framing pics, spreading artwork around the world a bit. I have a buddy who is a super critic, has only given me one compliment in between the lines once ever, he said the photography we got is better than seed companies, and thats the week we got into biz actually, lol, so we were laughing. You know, if I see this lens next time I'm there Id be happy to scoop one for you and send it out. I know you're getting me some fire genes to test, and honestly, its least I could do for the man who gave me the ice regime no holds barred!
