How much cobalt do we need in hydro???:tiphat:

I honestly do not know if you can get it in a soluble form. You can add it to soil and microbes make it available...or Kempf sells a product called Photomag that contains it in a foliar form. epsom salt, Mo, B, Co and sea salt...a most excellent product indeed.

tiny amounts required and unreal results. And I know that sounds like an ad...but worth trying I promise.

anyways, in soil 2 ppm is all you need.

Thanks I will check it out ...foliar is a better option!
Edit:
Looks like it mainly works with the microbes like you had mentioned.
I still think it has merit as a foliar spray in hydro...More benefits when in soil!!
Thanks again milky!!!!!

It works to delay senescence in the plant. You can literally take a plant 10 weeks without a single trichome degrading and turning amber...you get a much more complex essential oil profile that way vs a plant that is dying and giving up every compound it has formed to protect the reproductive parts. The difference is significant.

Nice. You ever bump a little Mn a couple of weeks before flowering begins? The BioTech would be good for that to.
