Western Labs Test Results Pictured - 900-1,000 sq ft patch (From January)

Consulted with Cecil Weston on most of the amounts below but I bumped up a few considering "eyes on" my soil.


I have already added;

6 lbs elemental sulfur
120 lbs Pelletized Gypsum
1.4 lbs 20 Mule Team Borax
5 lbs Maganese Sulfate 32% (Alpha Chemicals)
.3 lbs Copper Sulfate 25% (Alpha Chemicals)
160 lbs of Alfalfa Meal (Added early February)
8 cu ft Perlite
8 bags of 2.2 cu ft Compress Black Gold Peat Moss (Added beginning of March)

Hoping the last two help change the soil composition a bit (can't tell from the soil test but my soil compacted much more than I would consider ideal last year).

Still to add;

25-50lbs of Kelp Meal
15lbs of Blood Meal

Would like to get 1 more test completed prior to transplanting into the patch from the grow tent.
