Slownickel lounge, pull up a chair. CEC interpretation

200 grams, should be fairly dry.

What's unbelievably high B?

>4 ppm?

 

[slownickel]

We have seen up to 6 ppm of B the soil using M3 and in a soil testing at 4500 ppm of Ca using [email protected] and they were the best plants...

 

[caterpillar710]

If they didn't have that much B With 4500ppm ca their plants wouldn't be the best plants though.

 

[plantingplants]

How'd they end up with that much B? Would love to see the plant.

 

[FoothillFarming]

@plantingplants, some of my soils have 6+ ppm of Boron. 6.7 on the soil with most of my pictures taken in my thread.

hey slow,
i sent those off today, they should be there in 2 days.
i got the k2. you'll get results emailed to you.
the in/gh is a coco mix i use indoors and greenhouse.
od/ft is the outdoor full term with the botrytis.

i was in a hurry lastnight and posted this in foothills thread.

Not a problem Max.

Still here trying to soak up everything in Kraidy's class.

Would there be any reason not to have literally spikes of Ca, b, mn, n, p, k, etc all on one mound?

Not sure all those are translocatable.

Realize calcium is a really different creature, it can only be taken up by root tips. A clay spike full of Mn and Cu could be real interesting. Long thought about it, but don't have the right clay to try.

P spikes... mmmm they will bleed and make toxic P levels. Not good.

You are quite the thinker though! The Wright brothers crashed a bunch of times before they could fly.

 

[jidoka]

How many other people thought they would ever fly period. False equivalency...move on

The third N test logan does is total N. They do it because they say if your total N is good but nitrate and ammonical are low with no visable N deficiency the plants are producing proteases exudates and the soil biota is cycling peptides and proteins.

So what are they measuring in total N, if is not ammonia or nitrate?

 

[theJointedOne]

Can someone please pm me with a recommended place to send soil samples?

Any and all info is appreciated.

Thanks

 

[GreenHands13]

Total amount of N in protein form.

 

[slownickel]

Green,

Mmmm just went into Logans page. Are you sure this is not a number generated from the organic material calculation?

The only N analysis they show on their soil analysis is nitrate and ammonia...

http://www.loganlabs.com/testing-procedures.html

Wow, they charge $55 vs Spectrum at $41! Dang.

 

[GreenHands13]

No I can't say for sure it confused me at first so I asked an AEA rep when I talked with them that is the answer I was given. I can say though after a drenching of ferti nitro or PPD the total N on there test goes up but nitrate and ammonia stays relativeley the same.

 

[FoothillFarming]

Interesting. I have some 15' tall green
bushes that show almost zero N in my Spectrum tests. However I apply most N with SeaShield and Amino's.

 

[slownickel]

I wrote to the agronomist at Spectrum. On the Logan page, there is only two nitrogen numbers supposedly at Logan, nitrate and ammonia.

Might this be a special test for AEA?
