When you say it is related to NPK feedings does this mean not enough or too much?
btw what is NPK?
Sorry for the newbish questions guys
THanks
Dolomite Lime is a great source of calcium, and magnesium for soil/organics. Unsulphured blackstrap molasses has Cal, Mag (but not as much as dol lime) with a lot of trace elements as well.I know magnesium and sulfur can be got from epsom salt, but how can calcium be got?
I add 1 cup of dolomite lime for every 8 gallons of soil and have never had a cal/mag deficiency or toxicity problem. I try to have everything in the soil before the grow and let it "cook" beforehand, similar to subcool's and Doc Bud's supersoil.Wow really good info man..
I was just reading a post that said that dolomite lime has a 2:1 calcium:magnesium ratio when most plants only need a 6:1 calcium:magnesium ratio, and that this could be damaging. Is this not true for MJ?
Also, on the blackstrap molasses it said that organic blackstrap molasses it what is used for gardening. When you say unsulphured blackstrap molasses do you mean organic blackstrap molasses, are the two the same thing?
From my findings, it could be 1 of 2 things,
1. it can be Manganese
or
2. it can be sulfur..
these both show the signs of purple stems, difference is that they both show yellowing leaves as well, with Manganese it will make the lower growth show the yellowing first, and spread up. With Sulfur, yellowing can start showing on the newer growth as well...
Maybe you can post up some pix to show us exactly what your working with brotha?
here is a link on how to post your pix...

I’m new, so it’s hard to follow what the hell you guys are talking about. Dolomite lime? Blackstrap molasses? Unsulfured? I’m not sure if your talking about a brand of feed or what? I’m confused if ur talking about the 3 part liquid nutrients (micro, grow , bloom) I also realize that this was posted years ago but when I googled “red stems” this is the first thing that popped up!! It’s so hard to research this shit when everyone has different opinions and every website isn’t giving me a difinative answer... please help!! I wanna learn !! And I’m already deep in and don’t wanna mess it up!I add 1 cup of dolomite lime for every 8 gallons of soil and have never had a cal/mag deficiency or toxicity problem.

No, you want to use organic/natural unsulphered blackstrap molasses. The main difference to look for is the "unsulphered" part. Basically unsulphered means it has not undergone further processing to remove the harsher tasting trace elements, such as cal/mag/iron which are good for the plants. The counterpart is better for mixing with dairy butter and spreading on bread

Mine have looked like this every grow. Is what you are refering to called phototropism? A bit over my head but thought I would ask none the less. lolthat is a problem, but a red stem pulls toward the light and a purple one pushes away from the light.
