At the same time that I started using MSU I also began paying close attention to PH and adjusted my watering and fertilizing regimen accordingly. I always strive for a Ph between 5.5 and 6.2. Something has paid off and it is either the MSU or the correct Ph or perhaps a combination of both. There is something else that I started doing at about the same time and that was the use of a product called HB101. It is very expensive but I am afraid that if I quit using it, it will show. The only thing that I know about it is that it is an extract from certain juniper and pine and it is supposed to better enable the plant to use nitrogen.
