Don't forget that the worm castings provide some Ca, too. I doubt it would cause a toxicity, especially since you seem to be employing SFW techniques here.hey guys, this is the new mix
7 gallon Promix
1.5 gallon EWC
1.5 gallon Shrimp Compost (shrimp shells, cow and sheep manure)
-(perhaps 1 gallon of perlite to lighten the soil up a bit?)
2/3 cup kelp meal
2/3 cup alfalfa meal
2/3 cup rock phosphate
1/2 cup dolomite lime
1/2 cup composted hen manure 4-4-2
1/3 cup Fishbone meal
1/4 cup k-mag (aka langbeinite or sul-po-mag)
600gm. Rare Earth (2 oz. per gallon)
I have a question regarding the calcium content of the mix. Currently there are 4 sources of calcium: hen manure, rock phosphate, shrimp manure and dolomite lime. Is that going to be a problem, (eg. calcium toxicity)??
Good read mrbong. Correction, it is shrimp shells and not shrimp manure lol. I was thinking of adding some glacial rock dust but thought it might be overkill on the minerals. Any thoughts?
Rice hulls- pros and cons anyone?
Those condiments will make a lot of happy microbes go forth and multiply. :cool0010:complete mix now per 10 gallon soil base
2 cup glacial rock dust
2/3 cup kelp meal
2/3 cup alfalfa meal
2/3 cup rock phosphate
1/2 cup dolomite lime
1/2 cup composted hen manure 4-4-2
1/2 cup Fishbone meal

I agree.Those condiments will make a lot of happy microbes go forth and multiply. :cool0010:
I'm on the same page. Thanks for the silica tip- I've never applied it as a foliar before. Are there any visual results of note?I agree.
Don't be shy with the earthworm castings either. You can always mix a little 'bloom booster" top dress with some ewc and fish bone meal as you put them into flower.
If you're using mycorhizae make sure you get it on the roots at first transplant.
Some liquid kelp and fish hydrolysate as foliar and soil drench will keep things happy.
If you want to "play" with humic and fulvic that's up to you.
A couple teas like you mentioned will be great.
I really like Pro Tekt by DynaGro as a silica source and use it in every foliar and soil drench applications.
Also, bubble up some kelp and alfalfa meal teas for micro nutrients etc.
Good luck!
