I think it is a very interesting idea, and the poster obviously knows what he's talking about. I agree 100% that it is best NOT to use Epsom salts in the soil or water, but to only give them as a foliar feed. As for the calcium tubes, I'd like to try that on my cucumbers this year- cukes and melons are Ca hogs.
But the thread is pretty old...
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . CalMag and Thrive in bloom... It's my understanding that N should still be fed, albeit in smaller quantities, during bloom but you need to knock it off in the last few weeks. Is this correct? Calmag is rated at 2-0-0 so phasing it out say halfway through bloom would be a good idea? While I'm here, I should also ask if a similar rule exists for hormones a la Superthrive? I hear people mention they use ST all the way until harvest, but I've also picked up that it can actually hinder full errr, fruitilization! :D Rating: 5
