Hi Stu...I BOUGHT Excalibur from Florida Colors but haven't use it yet, how does it compare to Hormex ?

Is this your 3rd season using it or is this going to be the 2nd season? If its coming up on your second season then this summer will really be the best determination as to Excal's value.

This will be my third season using Excalibur

I recall from reading previous posts and PSA newsletters at the time that it became available via mail order just before the 2015 growing season. Everyone else is only starting their second year. But that is great that you are on your third year of it. You can be our barometer on how it works.

I can't remember the exact date I got this fertilizer but it was when it first came out I had a friend in Florida pick it up for me so that's maybe why I may have gotten it a little early

Looking forward to seeing how well it works.

I've almost forgotten I had IT, I usually use 20-20-20 Grow More every time I water with every six weeks Epsom salt, but because I was in Australia for 2 1/2 weeks, my plumerias had no Epsom and no Grow More added to the watering, consequently they had a late start in "waking up" :-( !

Should I wait a few days before I can start Excalibur and how much bone meal do you use ? I'll be anxious to start using it !!!!!

Sorry I have not gotten back I had a death in the family and I've been very busy I use the finally ground bone meal and I cut it x 3 quarters of what the instructions say on the bag an added to a watering once a month you can also go as far as making a bone meal tea which is where you boil the bone meal for 15 minutes or so but if you try this make sure you do it outside because it smells. This is what I have tried and it seems to work well everybody is different on how they fertilize. Excalibur is meant for plumerias so you don't want to mess with it too much I have a few old plumerias that I use for experimenting with another product to look into is Growers Secret well I hope this helps.

Hey Stu, hope your doing well buddy!

First, I'm glad this is working great for you! But I'm curious why your adding the bone meal, excalibur has plenty of phosphorus.

Ive been hesitant to try excalibur because the npk ratio is skewed. Al has posted a ton of info on the actual ammount of nutrients a plant can take up if anyone wants to read up. Also, I haven't been able to find out if theirs any micro nutrients or minerals or biologics in there.

ive been using foliage pro along with potassium silicate this season with great results, but what I'm really excited to get my hands on is this, it's in the proper ratio & LOADED up with goodies....

Aloha plumaeJunkie there is really no scientific or chemistry involved in me using bone meal I just thought years ago everybody says use super bloom which is high in phosphorus so I thought adding a little bit of bone meal may help but I am also messing around with people who know what they are doing in fertilize ology the micro life you are talking about seems very interesting. I should read up on this product some more and check it out do you have a background in chemistry and working with fertilizers the farthest I go in chemistry is college and working with things trial and error last season a friend of mine told me to try Grower's Secret plant growth enhancer in combination with great white supposedly in combination with fertilizers and other growth enhancer supplements is supposed to work well I only started using it this year so I am not able to tell you how it works yet. But that's my witches brew. I'm going to look into micro Life 6-2-4 the it sounds very interesting
