Conradino23, those are numbers I can make sense of. Thanx for the clarification. As far as your Ca and K supplement, are you speaking of the red algae Lithothamnium calcarium? I'm only able to find it as an expensive dietary aid here in the states, which is unfortunate. So let me ask you, are...

Thanx again conradino23 for trying to help me wrap my head around this issue, but I fear I'm still missing something. By my calculations, the ideal ratio you proposed would lead, based on the values of P and K present at the time of testing and established as 'good' numbers, to a Ca value of...

OK , now those ratios are actually more confusing. I mean, my Ca to Mg ratio looks close and so does my P to K, but for that 20:1 Ca to K to work out, either my K would have to be closer to 250 or my Ca would have to be around 16000. So what am I missing here? Or perhaps just a typo? Guy...

That's the kind of info I'm looking for. What are the optimal ratios between these nutrients for this specific plant? I know that the soil test shows I'm in the ballpark for plants in general, but since I'm still having issues, especially in the ground gardens, I know that the numbers could be...

Should have proofed that last reply before posting. I meant to say that the high Ca and K were antagonizing other nutrients, esp. Mg, even in the ground soil that showed no deficit on the test.

Thanx for the reply conradino23, and the wiki link. High Ca and P appear to be causing an exaggeration of the Mg deficit, and I'm treating with Epsom Salts. Still have a lot to learn about organic growing. Bottled mineral nutrients were so much easier, but the sustainability and higher quality...

Well, if that's the way it's going to be, then excuse me while i whip this out... View image in gallery

So I got my test results back from Logan Labs the other day and as I was looking them over, I realized that I had no clear idea what the ideal numbers looked like, and how they compared to mine. I was wondering if anyone here with an understanding of these things could help a brother out, maybe...

I'm trying to do a minimal till, organic outdoor grow, with various strains. I got a soil test done through my local extension office, but I need to know what optimal levels look like, so I may compare my numbers and make the appropriate adjustments. Anybody here know where that info may be...

Having a lot of pistils turning brown, especially at the tips on the lower flower clusters. What condition (aside from pollination) or imbalance would cause such a thing? I have been having quite a tough time dialing in my first fully organic outdoor grow so I know I've kind of f-ed things up a...

Howdy y'all. New here but not a noob. I've got a question for anyone here familiar with growing in hard groundwater. I have my groundwater filtered down to .5 micron, and though the pH is in the high 7's when I add my nutrients the pH goes down to 6.5 or 6.4 and stays there (no rebound over 24...
