You bet! There is only about 50 milligrams of Mag in one tablespoon of molasses, so if you give your plant 1/2 a gallon that has one Tbsp of Mollases in it, that equates to Mag that would be about the size of a grain of rice.Has anyone tried using Epsom salt instead of molasses to get Magnesium Sulfate? Just wondering is all.
Yes, by putting those amounts of magnesium into your soil you are very lucky to not have suffered from Calcium and/or Potassium deficiencies due to the lockout that will be caused. Mulder's chart shows us why the advice you are giving here is not to be followed by anyone who understands the mineral interactions both good and bad, in soil.But maybe I’ve just been lucky.
Did you do any math on my formula?Yes, by putting those amounts of magnesium into your soil you are very lucky to not have suffered from Calcium and/or Potassium deficiencies due to the lockout that will be caused.

Certainly your advice to dump massive amounts of epsom is disproven with this well known chart:
No need to... I know it is bad advice and that in most cases adding too much magnesium is harmful and that it can totally screw up a grow to do as you suggest.Did you do any math on my formula?
Sorry to tread on your thread.No need to... I know it is bad advice and that in most cases adding too much magnesium is harmful and that it can totally screw up a grow to do as you suggest.
Maybe you should start up your own magnesium supplement thread and back up your advice with hundreds of people successfully using your recipe, as I have done here... maybe then we will investigate your math.
Since you are a writing critic and we are having fun, let me hit you with one of my pet peeves and one that you violated. A PhD is an honorary Doctorate Degree in Philosophy, and it means that the recipient has gained such a deep understanding of a subject that they are expected to contribute to the advancement of that field. It is a degree in Philosophy, specialized in the field of study and they are given the title of Dr. because of their advanced training and expected future contributions.As “due” I. LOL.

Maybe when describing pH as we use and understand it, it would be helpful to always use the proper capitalization, as I have done here. Then it is much more proper to say pH adjusted or even pH'd... but please don't use PhD to refer to water. Also, I enjoyed those pictures and that looked like it was an excellent harvest... but yes, you did sort of troll my thread. I'm good from here on if you are.

Not quite right but you are close, just overthinking things a bit. First off, math is our friend when it comes to issues such as this. While it is true that the reaction starts immediately and that the pH drift in the column of water begins upon application, it happens much slower than you are thinking and not all of the drift is seen in an actual conversion. First, the math.Thanks for the advice Emilya. As I understand it and may be wrong the ph upon application will be somewhere in between the water column mix and the soil upon application. So if I ph my water/molasses or your recipe to say 6.0 and drench the soil, the roots would see a ph initially of around 6.0 and as the soil dries out it would rise to the natural pH of the organic soil at around 7.0. This should allow a range of pH to allow different minerals to be better absorbed by the roots. Minerals like iron and zinc would be better absorbed a the lower ph and as the ph of the soil rises as it begins to dry minerals like calcium would be better absorbed?
So in short I should just slightly pH the water/molasses mix or your recipe to low 6ish and let the organic soil just do it's magic?
Maybe if I told you that the plant's internal pH is 6.1 you might assume something else as to where you should adjust for best absorption? It doesn't matter how much you read on this, what matters is that you read the right stuff. As far as TDS, I don't have a clue because I am a soil grower and should not need a TDS meter. Just dilute the stuff to about 1 tsp/gal and you should be fine... its not like this is an exact science.Thanks, I assume the solution should be no more than 200ppm and the pH around 5.8 for a foliar feed. At least that is what I have read is the general recommendation for TDS and pH when foliar feeding.
Hold the phone, Jack Knob! You're way out of line!See you next Tuesday.
Hi BudShark, and welcome to the forum!Thanks, I have been just boiling eggs after they are cleaned and powdered, I usually add a few banana peels and a tablespoon of molasses in the boil, strain and feed 1 part to 3 parts water. This method is not as concentrated as your method. I have just completed reading this whole thread and will be making a bottle of this mix. Mine is more like a tea than a supplement. Cheers and Thanks
