How to Make Your Own Sulphur/Potash/Calcium
Fertilizer Out of Chamomile
- Chamomile contains sources of calcium, potash and sulphur
- Pour 2-4 cups of clean, chlorine-free/chloramine-free boiling water over ¼ cup chamomile blossoms
- Let steep until cool, (I like to pull flowers at 3 minute mark) strain and place in spray bottle
- Use when cool and dark if possible
- foliar solution will keep for about 1 week
- Apply once or twice in the first 10 days of flower
How to Make Your Own Sulphur/Magnesium
Foliar Out of Epsom Salts
- Personally I like to use only 1/8 to 1/4 tsp per Litre and
- just mist them gently twice in the 1st 2-weeks when fruits just first start to set.
In plants,
magnesium helps with
- chlorophyll production,
- mineral absorption,
- fruit development,
- strengthening cell walls,
- and improving uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur.
Sulfur helps
- produce vitamins,
- amino acids, and
- enzymes.
Calcium, hugely affected by transpiration rates,
- regulates root density, length,
- plus hormones that affect growth,
- combat thermal stress,
- help with cell division,
- cell wall strength, and
- numerous other micro-processes.
Together, they bless the plant proper.
Calcium and potassium compete with magnesium for uptake by plant roots, and magnesium often loses. Sometimes, a soil test will show adequate magnesium levels in soil, but a plant grown in that soil may still be deficient because of that competition. So always good to do a couple gentle mg foliars right as flowers set. I recommend 1/2 tsp per gallon only not a full TBSP. Here, plants are so sticky, so greasy, they glue your fingers shut and then leave a terpy grease once you break apart. It's more than enough to ensure the synergy!
Bless your garden, brothas and sistrens..
