I wouldn't add epsom to soil.... only as a foliar.... I consider Epsom salt to be a nonselective poison for soil fungi.
Any ingredient that reads like this: _________SULFATE
You should stay miles away from.....

There are many people that add Epsom Salts to their plants and soil often without a soil test to indicate whether they are really needed or not and the placebo effect takes over and they see results that are not there because they want to.

Jflo, u can use silicas. Iim not a chemist but i used to put 1/4 tsp to gal water epso salt. I only used it when i when i thought trace minerals were a concern. Stopped using it not bc of bad reports, i started using silicas instead. Couldnt really tell u why other than i felt it better to go another way. Like i said, not a chemist but am happy with what is going on

Wuz up 420/sf/ nice ladies pk

never knew that about the epsom.

I've always sprinkled about a tbs. around the stem then watered.

Still apprehensive about Ravnus at this time.
Little known, little grown.
What has been grown was mediocre in qualities.
Frankly, not expecting anything above 'good' in quality.

I'm still gonna pop a bunch eventually, but just not top of list for me.
Personally, I wouldn't keep a male Ravnus at this time.
The pheno hunt is where the treasure lies.

Many more releases coming out in the new year.
Ravnus won't be one of them.
Too fluffy for the public's liking's IMO.

Ravnus has potential, but haven't tried her yet.
Everything gets a shot, eventually anyway.

Some of the new stock has me stoked.

Khalisi - The Purps x Jihad

Pimp daddy purps
GDP grape pheno x The Purps

Goblin God
Goblin Girl x The Purps

Halo 2.0 (Original cross)
Romulan and The Purps

Just to name a few, but has me much more exited than Ravnus.


The Minions are an asset, no matter the skill level.
Real world testing for sure.

We've only been on this journey for just over a year.
We have barely even begun, yet the best is still in the seed.
Just need to get another 100 Minions.

My wife asked me to take tomorrow off from work and do a bunch of baking for the Christmas gathering of the clan. So I may not have much internet time tomorrow and Christmas.

So to all my new minion friends may you have a wonderful Christmas.

Thanks for letting me lurk with some fine organic growers.
