Alright so I need hydrate lime now and the other stuff at Menards for my mix. And no more flushing.

My soil has never gave me a problem before, which is why I've been so stumped trying to find a solution. I don't do a new mix every time, I just reuse my soil and add a little bit here and there. Normally my microbe teas keep the plants healthy, always have. I have other plants vegging in the same mix different strain with no problems. The soil was originally FFOF and I've reused and added things over such a long period of time that I wouldn't really consider it FFOF anymore.

For supplies I have on hand I have some alfalfa and kelp meal, epsom salt, seabird guano, two kinds of bat guano, worm castings, and I think that's it. Anything you would suggest getting I can try to find tomorrow in stores somewhere or order it tonight.

My soil is a jazzed up version of FFOF too. I reuse and re amend it but I always add lime (dolomite)

I got in a jam once and used 1 tablespoon hydrated lime to a gallon of water...

smart pots are stupid............. topdress w about a cup of that kelp meal then put a half inch of castings on top of the whole pot..... start a tea w a cup of castings teaspoon of the psg and about three quarts of water... teaspoon of molasses ..........

pea gravel..... everybody needs pea gravel..... you should be using a mix of castings and compost rather than just castings in flower......

In mycology we use hydrated lime, the melt-your-ass strong stuff.
to modulate the pH of casing soils, and we avoid the dolomite lime
because the Mg is bad for mushrooms.

....here you want the Mg.

I had not heard of using hydrated lime in gardening before.
....but diluted it will still be a strong "sweetener".

Good luck ADT,

JD

Officially decided I'm just going to buy a pre-made COB LED fixture. I wanted to make one but it'll take weeks before it's done and I needed the new lighting in yesterday lol.

Going to order this puppy later today.

Alright, I got that all down I'll start the tea today.

I just use castings in my tea for my microbe tea. Just castings water and molasses. I don't have compost available or I would most defiantly be adding it.

Oh I saw the psg in the tea recipe earlier, no worries. :)

I do have Jamaican though, think psg or the Jamaican would be better?
