Doggy dodo for calcium, I hear dog hair is a great source of N as is their urine. DEA can match your doggy hair to your grow people & it's quite often in their dung. I've never tried dodo, from the guide "Animal wastes which are both medium/slow absorption" There's probably more. Lyrics by F. Zappa

Get some epsom salts, you can buy it from the store, cheaply few bucks. I know you asked for a home remedy thing, but there is nothing around the house that can be used to fix it quickly, if you want it be fixed quickly, get to the store.
Or you could try this.

Take a pot of boiling water and let it boil nearly gone, what is left is left over calcium and magnesium from the tap water, that is if you have hard water, after it is left rinse with water to get the excess off let it and dump the water into a gallon or something else that is clean and mix real good and water your plants, it will help add more calcium and magnesium to the water without overwatering the plants.

Let the water sit for 24 hours before use, but before you give the plants the water, shake good.

thanks stitch, I have epsom salt but i read somewhere that it doesn't have Ca, but ur saying it does right, ill add alittle over a 1/4 tsp to a gal of H2O and feed her thanks Stitch, I love all the good advice you give those in need.

SIRGRASSALOT heres something you should look at

Q. Doesn't dog poop make good fertilizer?

A. Dog poop contains bacteria from your dog's digestive system that can be passed along to plants. A person can become ill by eating fruits or vegetables from a plant "fertilized" with dog poop. Don't use your dog's poop as fertilizer!

I'll stick to bird and bat do do. please read up on shit b4 you try and help us out. i did a quick google search on dog poop and found nothing that would be beneficial for plants due to the different digestive system and their different food intake (kibbles n bits vs berries and insects) think about it dude. dog feces is technically toxic waste just like human feces and i don't know anyone who would put toxic waste on their girls and expect it to improve the health of their plants, now highly diluted urine is a different story, great for N def.

thanks everyone! peaceout~red

 

[sirgrassalot]

Maybe that should be in the guide?
My info was the DEA, doggy hair & urine.

 

[DirtDoctor]

epsom salts for calcium? sorry, no.

epsom salts for calcium? sorry, no.

"Epsom Salts" is just a common name for Magnesium Sulfate. No Calcium there, just Magnesium & Sulfur.

 

[redheadedbitch]

human urine works great, i can say this from personal experience a 1/15 dilution makes yellowing leaves turn nice and green again provided they're not dead yet, and i don't know about you but peeing in a cup seems alot easier than chasing your dog around trying to get him to pee in a cup lol imagine that image and its funny as hell, but yeah dog urine should work just as good as human urine provided that the dog food doesn't add anything harmful to their urine, everything that you put into your body gets used up and exits as either liquid or solid waste. for humans and dogs our urine consists of wastes from our blood passed on via the kidneys, and our stomach, therefore good urine for fertilizer depends on the wastes extracted from the blood and stomach of the species. alittle biology info for any1 who wants it. peaceout ~red

 

[DirtDoctor]

but really, a Ca++ deficiency? Most tapwater has enough Ca in it.

If you're really seeing a Ca def., it's probably a pH issue.

What pH is your medium, and what pH are you feeding at?

 

[MynameStitch]

Epsom salts does have some calcium in there not much but enough to tide him over for what he needs, check it on google if you don't believe me, it's got more magnesium and sulfur, but does have some calcium.

I'll stick to bird and bat do do. please read up on shit b4 you try and help us out.

I have been trying to tell him this for days now, he posts in many threads sometimes not even knowing what he is talking about.

 

[redheadedbitch]

thats what i thought Dirt cuz thats what it says on the box MgSO4 7 H2O. maybe i could crush up a Ca pill lol j/k although it actually might work if the Ca dissolves properly anyways thanks yall

 

[redheadedbitch]

gotta love those trace elements

 

[MynameStitch]

Maybe it's different brands that have it, I am holding the box right now and it lists on there along with magnesium sulfate also has calcium sulfate with it......

 

[redheadedbitch]

hum interesting i guess i got the wrong brand so it can all go in the bathtub now.

DirtDoc i know soft water is alot different than hard water, hard has alot more nutrients in it (thats why ur bathtub gets yellow stains) i have very soft water where im at but i don't know how that effects Ca levels in tapwater. and i still don't have a pH meter, im using a fish tank pH tester and adjusting my water down to 6.2-6.4 im using light warrior, also using Earth Juice bloom but if it was a ph problem whouldn't some of my other plants be showing some signs. i have 6 speed queens (1 sick 5 healthy)and 4 sadhu's all healthy, plus it looks exactly like a Ca def. in later stages, brown rusty spots on the upper nodes, their on day 17 of flowering. i have had some problems with pH that look like a kitty took a couple bits out of a couple of the fan leaves (on random plants) caused from acidic ph EJB lowers my pH alot when i add more than 1 tsp per gallon. i know i need a ph meter and ph up but no $ to do that so im doing my best with what i have to work with, they all look good and most are getting nice and frosty on the tops and the colas are about 2in in length and i can't think to say anymore so thanks yall peaceout~red

 

[DirtDoctor]

Yeah Stitch, you must have something (a commercial bath salt) that contains epsom salts along with calcium sulfate, but epsom salts are Magnesium Sulfate.

feel free to google it

from the Epsom Salt Industry Council (lol!):

One of the earliest discoveries of magnesium sulfate, the scientific name of Epsom Salt, occurred back in Shakespeare's day in Epsom, England

Maybe that should be in the guide?
My info was the DEA, doggy hair & urine.

Your turning into quite the troll aint ya .it everything you can do to keep from spewwing a buncha nute calculations and saying how stump remover would be just the thing to fix that


Sorry Red But I couldnt belive he was flingin dog shit in here of course most of Sirs advice is dog shit anyway so I shouldnt be supprised

 

[sirgrassalot]

bozo listen up, I don't take measurements. How are you feeling today. Can you count how many fingers I have up.
Both the bitch & male's urine is the same. Bitches squat so they kill the grass with nute burn. Males (listen up bozo) piss upright. We're growing Cannabis It doesn't take rocket appliances.

 

[MynameStitch]

Hey bozo, I am going to use that quote in my sig man, cause I fully agree with you, his advice is dog shit

 

[sirgrassalot]

Sounds like some grow envy amongst some others.

 

[HeadyPete]

I seriously doubt that.......

The cause of lawn burn

Lawn burn is caused by the nitrogen in dog urine. Because dog urine is very high in nitrogen, when the dog urinates, it is similar to pouring liquid fertilizer on the lawn. A little fertilizer is good for the grass, but an excess causes nitrogen burn. The prevention of lawn burn deals with trying to reduce the amount of nitrogen coming into contact with the grass.

Contributing factors

There are several contributing factors that increase the likelihood of developing lawn burn.

*

Female dogs are more likely to cause lawn burn than males because they void their entire bladder in one location instead of lifting their leg and marking, like males.
*

Large dogs deposit more urine so they increase the quantity of nitrogen in one location, making lawn burn more likely.
*

Those dogs, usually young active dogs, fed a high protein diet are more likely to produce a urine that causes lawn burn.
*

Heavily fertilized yards are already receiving near maximum levels of nitrogen. The small amount of nitrogen in dog urine may be all that is needed to put these lawns over the edge and cause lawn burn.
*

Lawns that are stressed are more susceptible to damage. Lawns that are suffering from drought, disease, or are newly sodded or seeded are more susceptible to lawn burn.
