RE: [APD] PMDD solution looks green!
Hendra,
I live in Geneva, Switzerland and ordered CSM+B from Greg Watson at
www.gregwatson.com.
He is very helpful and even set up a special web page so that I could order
form outside the US. Good service; received the product in only about 3
days.
Regards,
Laith

Subject: [APD] PMDD solution looks green!
Hi all,
Today I finally made my own PMDD solution. I followed the recipe from
www.thekrib.com. The first "problem" is that the chelated trace mix I used
is not from CSM (B/regular), they are nowhere to be found here in Europe
btw. The second thing is that it's about 2 years old but it's always kept in
dry, dark, room temperature condition.
A quick comparison:
CSM Regular |CSM+B Mix |Tenso cocktail (all EDTA, only Bo and Mo
has no chelate and some of FE is in DTPA)
Fe 7.00% 6.53% 3.84%
Mn 2.00% 1.87% 2.57%
Mg 1.50% 1.40% 0%
Zn 0.40% 0.37% 0.53%
Cu 0.10% 0.09% 0.53%
Mo 0.05% 0.05% 0.13%
B 0.00% 1.18% 0.52%
Co 0.00% 0.00% 0%
Ca 0.00% 0.00% 2.57%
So the trace mix I use has 5 times more Cu, and a lot more Ca, has allmost 2
times less Fe, no Mg and looks like this :

Shouldn't PMDD looks yellow/brownish just like Dupla24? The trace mix I use
has somewhat different proportions of elements then the CSM one, is this a
problem?
TIA,
Hendra N
ps: how can I read messages instantly without having to wait for the daily
digest?
