Water and Fertilizer
 

I have been around long enough on this forum and have seen tons of threads about what fertilizer to use. The stuff I currently am using has gone up in price... what else is new! I am thinking very seriously of changing over to the MSU formula. The Mg and Ca content of my tap water is 7 ppm and 28 ppm. These sound like small quantities to me but then what do I know! Should I still use the "regular" formula w/o additional Mg and Ca? I grow lots of paphs, some of which do benefit from additional Mg and Ca. Ray, are you there????? Hello???? :rofl::rofl::rofl:

:bump:

Sorry, Doc. Was down in FL (my mom had a stroke), came back and am now in NC on a speaking tour.

The MSU RO formula will add roughly 75 ppm Ca and 18 ppm Mg to your water when used at the recommended 125 ppm N concentration.

I'm not certain what your resulting pH will be,but I'd bet it'll be fine.

Hope your mum is okay, Ray.

Likewise, I would expect that all of our thoughts/prayers are with you and your mom.

My thoughts, exactly, nhman.

An extra prayer from me, too.

Thank you all. Unfortunately, she passed away Friday evening.

So sorry Ray. My condolences to you and those who survived her.

So sorry to hear about your Mum Ray. My prayers for all your family.
