So the 378.5 grams of SOP added to 1 gallon of water will make a 10% solution that is 0-0-4/5 at 1ml of solution added per gallon of water? I want to make sure I have this correct.
Making your own stuff is very cool and can save you a ton of cash.
I like the Brown sugar idea, the more natural and unprocessed the sugar is the better.
I have a couple of questions… Can we be sure plants absorb sugar through the roots?
Can too much sugar in the soil cause uptake issues with other elements?
Also without anti-microbial preservatives, this will grow some fungus pretty quickly.
Has anyone actually tried this yet?
Hey @amumayuk I love all these articles and recipes you’ve been bringing over here!
A suggestion:
Maybe create Amumayuk’s Cultivation Clearinghouse, or The Clam Library as a single thread, and then include the links and copy/paste data there.
Starting a new thread for each article clutters the feed with threads that don’t have much discussion in them.
When sugar is added to the soil, it increases the concentration of solutes in the soil solution. This, in turn, reduces the water potential of the soil solution, making it more negative. As a result, water moves from an area of higher water potential in the roots to an area of lower water potential in the soil, which can cause the roots to become dehydrated and unable to absorb nutrients effectively.
Furthermore, excess sugar in the soil can also attract microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi, which can consume the sugar and compete with the plant for nutrients. This can further reduce the availability of nutrients to the plant, leading to poor growth.
i understand what you mean but id need a hand for that as i had a hard time posting some of these thread and dont want to risk fucking it up if i try to move things elsewhere
but i agree with you i just never thought about it else i would of have done it initially
