Got my tissue test results today that I sent a couple weeks ago. Everything was sufficient except high potassium and low sulfur. Magnesium and calcium where on the low end of sufficient though. To rectify I'm going to foliar spray epsom salt in a few days, (I just foliar sprayed biomin calcium last night) Up the dosage biomin calcium foliar spray, I was doing a little less than the lowest recommended dosage because I was holding back on anything with Nitrogen, not sure if that was the right thing to do or not.
Odd, my soil test results from spring had high levels of sulfur, now my tissue test shows low sulfur. Hmmm. Overall though the tissue test looks way better than my soil test did from the spring, it was all over the place. over 1200ppm potassium, 2 ppm Nitrogen, 2! lol. Low calcium, and my soil test stated: "POTASSIUM in excess, may affect drainage and antagonize the uptake of calcium, leading to calcium deficiency disorders/poor quality." They got that right, all my other plants and AG's were showing signs of calcium deficiency in May and early June. I ordered biomin calcium, after the first foliar spray everything perked up and the necrotic areas shrank and stopped appearing.
