good source of sulfur???

[captinknots]

with peat,perlite, dolomite lime, kelp extract powder, molasses (grandma's unsulphured molasses not blackstrap) , and guano....

Where is the sulfur source?

guano covers N and P, kelp covers K, Ca and Mg in the dolomite lime, molasses has- Iron,Calcium,copper and Mn, K, Mg....

where is the sulfur and other micro elements coming from?

I try to avoid recommending things without trying it myself, but I see this talked about here in high regard:

Sul-Po-Mag aka K-Mag. Sulfur Potassium Magnesium.

epsom salt? magnesium sulfate?

captin, your'e over-thinking it again - the peat itself should be a good enough source of sulphur, and the seaweed should cover most micro's. if you use an extra 'thing' to cover each micronutrient you are gonna end up with too much again.

are you using 50% peat 50% perlite?

i started a few in that 5050 mix and they dont look as good as the ones i have in peat, perlite, and compost(nitro humus) 5/3/2 parts lc style. so im sticking with that. the ones in the lc mix are lacking K (necrotic brown margin tips on bottom leaves) in week 2 of flower but bigger,greener and healthier then anything ive grown in months!

my sulfur issue is with some small re veggers. the new growth is yellowing at the margins working its way in and the growth is very slow...

im going to put them in a new batch of soil, same 1 gal pot. i think i made a shitty batch a while back that has caused me more problems then i know....

i swear once i switched to this nitro humus, peat and perlite instead of amending pre bagged soil, my results started improving immediately. also im not adding anything besides dolomite lime and just feeding guano teas with kelp and molasses and some roots organics trinity (catalyst).

my problem with the little reveggers just got me curious to where the sulfur is coming from. thanks for letting me know that there is plenty in the peat! i guess i knew that about the seaweed, just brain farted lol.


your right tho, i overthink the hell out of this shit....

epsom salt? magnesium sulfate?

I always amend with epsom salts. My Apollo 11 is a magnesium whore, though

Sul-Po-Mag aka K-Mag. Sulfur Potassium Magnesium.

That's my preferred source for sulphur, potassium and magnesium.

Get the organic form - i.e. sulphate of potash magnesia

Ditto on the sul-po-mag, K-mag etc.

That, either mixed in the soil, or combined with enzymatically processed fish fertilizer, is the organic version of "Bud Blastin Sugar Berry Rocket Sauce ~ 2/100/2" sold at your local hydro store....
