May 13: planted out into 7 gallon grow bag. Low temps around 4 C now so past risk of frost for sure now. 🤞 This sodium rich well water is a nightmare. I’ve been delayed getting the water hardener started but the plants are screaming for calcium. Drove an hour each way to the nearest hydro store to buy a big jug of Csl-Mag. Didn’t want to have to do this as it’s a super expensive option compared to the water hardener but it will have to do for now. All the cation exchange capacity in the soil is tied up with sodium from the well water, so I did double the recommended dose of Cal-Mag to get some calcium into the system. That should help and I’ll continue to use Cal-Mag until a cheaper fix is sorted out. Barley sprouted seed tea was ready tonight so I did that with the Cal-Mag booster. Everybody got a good soaking.
