Just a third year grower here in Denver Colorado, (it's snowing today :( ) wondering what I can do with these numbers. I specifically asked the testing lab for results regrading calcium and all I got was the below. Any way any help would be great!

PH: 7.3
Salts mmhos/cm: 0.9
Lime %: LOW (less than 1% CaCO3)
Texture: Loam
SAR: 2.7 (What the heck is this???)
Organic Matter %: 7.4
Nitrate N ppm: 7
Phosphoros P ppm: 96.0
Potassium K ppm: 1113
Zinc Zn ppm: 11.2
Iron Fe ppm: 32.8
Mangasnesium Mn ppm: 47.4
Copper Cu ppm: 2.4


I want to add some sulfur to lowe the ph and have added about 5lbs/sqft of coffe grounds in the last month.

Thanks for any help and grow 'em big!
