Yes, yes you should. I think I'll watch it today too. Nothing to do until my car part comes in tomorrow. Oil leak rotted away my harmonic balancer. Really pissed a 25 dollar job became a 250 dollar job.

Hey kitty. Been MIA for a while with late night trimming, early morning diapers (he's a month old today :-P ) and all day work. How's the grow coming?

Your greenhouse Avalon grow was pushed back a few months so I can get rid of some other gear first. I've. Convinced myself that the Avalon will be a keeper and don't want these other beans to get waisted. So I'm waiting on some agent orange to crack right now. Hopefully one out of handful will be a keeper and I can keep a cut in the rotation.

Morning kitty kat. I wanted to say that you give a lot of credit to your man, but I can see who the real brains behind the operation is ;P I bow to your knowledge of pesticides organic and chemical and to your knowledge about AN aand their snakeoil tactics. You are so smart girl.
I wanted to ask you for some help in optimizing my garden. I've been hearing a lot about potassium silicate, and I'm sold, but I've also been hearing about the possible importance of sulfur in a grow...Have you heard or know anything about that? What is it for and what products should I be looking at for it?
Whenever you get the chance, thanks.

thanks for the kind words, beans. mr kitty's grow kungfu is lightyears ahead of mine, i'm just better at stringing big words together. :lol:

what a great question! sulfur certainly makes a big difference in plant vigour, especially towards the end imo. the plant requirement of sulfur is high enough that it fits in there with all the "macronutrients". (collective gardener preaches the "importance of sulphur" gospel, as well.)

culled from : http://www.ncagr.gov/cyber/kidswrld/plant/nutrient.htm

Sulfur


Essential plant food for production of protein.
Promotes activity and development of enzymes and vitamins.
Helps in chlorophyll formation.
Improves root growth and seed production.
Helps with vigorous plant growth and resistance to cold.

from wiki:

Sulphur is a structural component of some amino acids and vitamins, and is essential in the manufacturing of chloroplasts.

Sulfur improves the use efficiency of other essential plant nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus.
Plant requirements for sulfur are equal to or exceed those for phosphorus. It is one of the major nutrients essential for plant growth, root nodule formation of legumes and plants protection mechanisms.

... TL;DR: they need a fair amount of it, photosynthesis couldn't go on without it, and it helps the uptake of other macronutes.
to put it in human terms, sulfur is one of the main reasons our hair and skin don't fall apart in wind and water. (it's called a "disulfate bond")

we use a product called "monster bloom" (grotek of course) -- the shit's crazy: 0-50-30, B1 additive with a magnesium sulfate boost to it as well. if you compare ^that^ budporn with my last porn post you can certainly see the difference.
for the K.I.S.S. el cheapo in you (*smooches* ;)), magnesium sulfate is also commonly known as "epsom salt." tbh, i've never used storebought epsom salt (the kind you put in the bath) as a fert, so i don't know the first thing about application rates/methods but it can certainly be done, and with great success. keep in mind that epsom salts are quite often used as a bioavailable form of magnesium so it's going to deliver a considerable magnesium payload as well.

Sulfur is very important inall stages of plant growth, but is fundamental in terpine production.

Also, one of the only symptoms of silfur def is slow growth! No leaf curl, or color changing, u may not even know you have a sulfur def.

I also use potassium silicate, it makes a great source of ph up also. I only use it 1x a week and only in veg. I use it more in the summer as it helps build heat and drought resistance.

The potassium silicate is not a must have, I would suggest it if you have unusually harsgh growing conditions, or growing a strain with genetically weak stems like trainwreck.

I use sweet from botanicare for a good source of sulfur and its inexpensive. I use it every feeding now. And after week 4 of flower is start using less cal mag and more sweet

just chose the track for my next vid..... if you can't peg this one in the first 10 seconds you don't deserve to call yourself an anime fan...... :fire:

That line specifically was almost shocking to hear. I had no idea. Thanks for the tips kitty. I'll probably be using Epsom salt for now but that monster bloom looks interesting. 'preciate it.

I've been hearing a lot about this sweet stuff from botanicare. I wrote it off as a bud sweetener which I consider a scam but maybe I need to reevaluate my stance...
