Why is sulfur never a consideration?

I feed chelated iron via foliar application anyway.

I understand that is the best way. For mag and calcium too. But I have never sprayed and don’t want to indoors. I take every measure I can just to not have to spray for bugs in there. Too messy for me.

Oh and like you said already if the new growth isn’t fading because of iron it is likely sulfer.

Thanks.

I don’t use easy pistils for 2 reasons. It contains no calcium and I would need to add some with my soft water and it’s not available anymore.

I just posted to show that it was formulated the way the AN and dyna Grow info showed in the leaf content info.

And I saw that you posted bio ag already sells a good micro mix. I am not surprised. Tomatoes and other crops need similar elements in similar balances for best results.

Pretty sure pure Blend Pro is a dutch indoor tomato formula.

It’s funny you cut your k back during ripening. I show k stress a bit around the leaf edges and tips past the half way point and that’s when I start cutting back on nutrient strength.

And maybe the real reason for flushing is to get the excess pk we force in there for no reason to wash back out and unblock the poor roots?
Cut back K late as it's a THC protagonist. It reduces final THC counts when available in high amounts.

That's been a long time thought of mine - The flush to reduce thc protagonists..... Still not really the best way to finish a grow properly.
Up this and lower that at the right times....Healthier plants. Better "potentials" that way. Or at least in my experience....

I really get Tweetlers point on soil amending over mineral supplementation for THC boosting by mineral. I just gotta try it to "see" what happens that way...

Don't really use TM-7 on the farm......FUL HUMIX is delivered in a tea mix at spring field prep. I was checking on a bulk order pricing.

I wouldn't doubt it on the PB Pro being a hydro tomato mix. Most of the EU's tomato's come from Dutch hydro farms....N seems a tic low for tomato's, but that's not my area of experience either - Hydro tomato growing....

I always wondered how salty the reclaimed land in Holland was vs. none reclaimed land. Might be a reason to go hydro there?

Peace

Magnesium is a hit and miss thing for me.
Decided to just fuckit and grow like I always did before I knew about magnesium.
Never really an issue unless it gets very hot.

You can differentiate between nitrogen and sulphur deficiencies in that it has an all over paler appearance in Nitrogen def VS just the new growth is S.
Nitrogen def leaves also tend to be smaller.
I got a cpl of strains that are Mg hogs. Ghost is one.. I do a Mg sulfate based supplement (home made) so I really don't "see" the problem any more.

I myself am just recovering from a sulfur deficiency in my Dwc set up. Somehow the amount of sulfur in my florabloom wasn't enough. I add Epsom salt now and all is well. It took me a while to notice what the deficiency was and took about a week to recover.
Did it look like this?...
