I hear that and works, if balanced, yet think you're missing out. Reppin2c dealing with some stoopid high soil K levels, imbalance really. Best we can figure the fairly local soil blending company/provider ripped off his bonemeal and fooked his soil up. If it wasn't for the foliar program I helped him with he'd be screwed. He's now on a 5 day Ca foliar rotation program to compensate. Probably one of the better growers I've run across. Doesn't have a puter so I'll have to post pics for him next time we have dinner.

My plants in ewsf soil that I got in April were turning pale so I got a soil test done and the results are very surprising. When I got the soil I was told I wouldn't need to anything--just water--I was even told by the proprietor not to use PPD.
Anyways....Just sharing this so that I can get some suggestions from some more experienced folks and serve as an example for others. I don't want to jump to conclusions about the EWSF soil because I know many of you use is it and some of you hold David in high regard. I'm not trying to start a flame war---just want to grow some healthy plants.
From the report it looks like the soil is totally out of Nitrogen, Calcium, magnesium, boron and, sulfate.
I'm thinking the best approach would be to keep up the Calcium 25, PHT Calcium and, photomag foliars. Maybe increase to 2 x per week? But for how long? And what can I use besides PPD for nitrogen? I don't want to use it anymore I'm pretty sure using 2x per week has been burning the leaves on my Blue Dreams. What about boron and sulfate? I do have Micro 5000 Organic...
I'm thinking about using some Magic Green from House n Garden---I've heard good things and I need something that will help to fix the problem right away...This is the month when the most growth happens. I had planned on going totally organic but I'm stuck on it.
Any suggestions on things to add to the soil? Foliar?
