Hello Ray!

The MSU should be use at 125 ppm of N. Is it a strict number or if you go a
little higher it would be fine too, I mean about 150 ppm?

To get 125 ppm on N, you have to use .5 teaspoon?

Thanks

Claude

| Bob,
|
| One thing you might note in your docs - Bill Argo told me that the
| fertilizers were designed to be used at 125 ppm N at every watering.
|
| FWIW, I have been using it that way for 18 months now, and am very
| pleased.

| The Canadian broker is AMA Plastics in Kingsville, ON.

| yet.
|
| The data sheet that comes with it is not complete. I have a
| complete
| data sheet on our club website at
| http://los.lon.imag.net/MiscFile.asp
|
| The data was updated from articles in Orchids and from personal
| communications with Jan Szyren -Greenhouse Coordinator: Plant
| Biology
| Teaching Greenhouses and University Orchid Collection -Michigan

|
| I also added a table of the various amounts of fertilizer to add to
| an
| IMPERIAL gallon to get the ppm values since the original was only in
| U.S. gallons. Finally, I added teaspoons of fertilizer values since
| the original only came with numbers for ounces and grams of
| fertilizer
| since all of our members had access to a teaspoon but most of them
| did
| not have access to anything that would measure ounces or grams.
|
| Good luck.
