Holy crap that’s a bunch of jumbled nonsense. I think your phone was in your pocket punching in random auto fill words lol.

I'm so confused. Going to smoke some.

Stop mixing and matching. Find one base soil and supplement nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium. Thats the basic layout of a successful grow.

i use potash that has been composted at the local mill for like 50 years. it is 0 on nitrogen so it works well what i am saying is good herb grows in any kind of grow medium that is low on nitrogen and if the n-p-k has a high n level than know that when using your fertilizer go light on your nitrogen fertilzer for the whole grow

Why no Calcium ?

 

[Tom Tucker 313]

The calcium should be in the soil or your useing the wrong soil. Dolomite lime. Most soils contain it. It buffers ph and is a source of calcium and magnesium. Floral feeding or soil drenching with calcium is very very ineffective. Causes toxicity alot.

Think you'd find most agronomists would disagree with you about that.

Calcium is one of if not the most important minerals in soil,not just for plant nutrition but for the structure of the soil especially if you are adding Magnesium the ideal Cal to Mag ratio is 6/1 having higher Mag will result in the soil becoming "tight".
As far as soil drenching being "very very ineffective" what makes you think that ? Drenching with a gypsum slurry is one of the most effective and quickest ways of getting calcium into the soil structure.
Also Dolomite is a very ineffective amendment the Mag takes a long time to become available and contains around 10% less Calcium than Gypsum. Gypsum also is around 17% Sulfur which increases Terp production.

I haven't used Gypsum but have use Dolomite lime. Its good for stabilizing the PH (for lack of a better word) but takes to long to release anything worthwhile, maybe good for the no till gardeners.

I have some Gypsum in the shed ill have to give it a go
