Super Simple dr.earth feeding schedule by dr.earth

The size of your pot or raised garden will factor how simple one can cultivate ganja organically. 30 gallon and up will greatly reduce your time in the garden amending and watering. The trouble begins with those little bastard clones. It’s easy to wake up in the morning to way to many clones. Usually followed by saying to yourself that it seemed like a good idea at the time

I'll say it again, it's not there. Try it, and see yourself. You WILL get calcium deficiencies.

They don't list sulfur either even though it has potassium sulfate in it. Or any micronutrients as well that are present. Fish Bone Meal does have calcium in it regardless of what some hack on youtube says. The 4-4-4 also has just bone meal which has calcium as well. The fact that you refer to youtube as your source for cannabis growing information says all that needs to be said.

You obviously have no clue regarding organic fertilizers and their ingredients if you think that a product that has fish bone meal and bone meal has no calcium.

Learn to read buddy, if it had any amount of calcium worth listing then they would have.

You are a fucking IDIOT!!! I use it.. No def.. Ignorance gets ignored bye!

This is a scenario where both perspectives may have a point- the calcium may be present but not available short term, the re-use of medium could be a factor as well as other feeds which could make the calcium more avail

Good luck mate. I have no interest trying to teach an old dog how to read and grow.

I have no interest in a you tube IDIOT!! You'll never learn!!
Did you ever think you could be wrong?
Nope didn't think so.. IDIOT!!!!!

I don't need to learn anything. The 2nd and 3rd ingredients are both bone meal of some type and both have at least 10% calcium. I don't know why they don't list the percentage but they didn't. That doesn't mean that there isn't enough calcium in the mix.

If you had any issues growing when using it it wasn't from a calcium deficiency but from something else but you're to ignorant to understand. You don't even know the composition of the ingredients. Your knowledge apparently comes from youtube. Which is why you don't understand.

Ya'll are hopeless

I've sent an email to Dr. Earth's information support, asking about the 4-4-4 bag. It does not have any calcium, and I'll prove it to you straight from the source. If you don't believe me after that, you're more hopeless than ever.

No, it doesn't have calcium. Why would they not list something it has in it, and why would it create calcium deficiencies in every growers garden that has tried that method?

Gaia green's all purpose has calcium and magnesium. Dr. Earth's does not. I've used it for years.

Down to Earth ferts have calcium, magnesium and sulphur-beats Dr Earth mixes, IMO.

So, it does appear to have calcium from the MSDS that I pulled from Dr Earths website. 7%. I found it interesting that the values on the MSDS don't match the label. May they are just rounding down a bit? I suggest looking at the msds for all nutrients if they are available. Very informative.

Whoops, that was the flower girl. Here is the 444.
4% calcium in this one.

And the 4-6-3, because it's also slightly different. These were pulled from Dr Earths website.

I used flower girl and other dr earth products this run. No calmag just dolomite, earthworm castings, promix and happy frog. This is my first run with bags too. 5 weeks here. Some deficiencies on the larger plant others not so much. I have to water the large one twice a day. Next run I'm trying sips. This has been a lazy run except watering. I top dressed every week half and half. The last fert was flower girl only.

Thanks a bunch for posting this OP!

I do believe the MSDS sheets aren't correct. I spoke to the Dr. Earth page on Instagram and they claim the 4-4-4 has Calcium and Magnesium but that it varies so much that they can not put a specific amount on the bag. This is why I presume I've seen calmag deficiencies with some growers using the 4-4-4 because some bags may not have enough. I never got a response from Dr. Earth email support.

Edit - The Homegrown tomato vegetable and herb fertilizer used to contain 7 percent calcium, and they recently lowered it to 4 percent. The older version has higher calcium percentage, new bags less. You can tell by the design on the bags themselves.

Doesn't most every municipal source have calcium and Magnesium in it. You shouldn't have to add either like you would likely do with purified.
I'm not positive here but molasses adds quite a fair amount of cal/mag if used routinely. I haven't seen a deficiency in either for many years in my "all purpose" gardens.

Also I'd assume even if a stated percentage of calcium is not listed, look at the other sources of ingredients.
Fish bone meal...... calcium
Chicken manure......calcium
EWC........calcium
ect..........................................

Point is, damn near every single input of that granulated product will have contained originally some amount of calcium.
And too much calcium is going hinder the availability of Potassium. In all my years, it's better to have a lite charge of calcium in the soil to aid in the buffering of the pH(KCI) and add lite amounts of calcium to buffer the pH(h20). Which is why I use unsulfured Blackstrap Molasses every 2 weeks. 1.5tbsp/gallon
