Apologies
Dear Narul,
My sincere apologies. I had no idea you had requested a reply from me and you're probably thinking what a rude sod I am for not replying. In point of fact, I has assumed the...

Just a followup
Hi there Luches,
Just a followup from the help you gave me some time ago. I've persevered (well, it wasn't hard :D ) with the changes you recommended to my formula and all is going very well...

Here's the photo link, nothing to get excited about. You might notice the curl in the older tomato leaves. Happens every year and doesn't seem to worry the plants, but whether it's a sign of a...

Hello Luches,
Just a quick rattle of the cage! I came across this quote recently -
Does this mean that one should maybe keep EC down around the 0.9 or 1.0 mark until the plants begin to...

Hi Luches,
You're spot on. The reading at 1.8 is now about 6.3. I've added MgSO4. by the way, but not the calcium chloride for the moment because it's only available in very large bags at a...

Just about there
More reflection.......Plan A is as follows:
8 parts Hydrosol (to get the K up a bit)
4 parts MgSO4
7 parts calcium nitrate
1 part calcium chloride
Mixed in those proportions, but keeping...

Hi Luches, thanks for doing your calcs so quickly. If I'm reading them correctly, it seems that you think the mix could certainly do with some magnesium sulphate - and that the concentration...
