I'm thinking that I am going to just start over. I will drive for the Roots! The Happy Frog / Pro-mix blend brought nothing but PH issues and bugs. I think the chlorine really F'd up the micros. There is no more action in the mud. No soil web, NOTHING. Lets hope the Roots mix turns out better...
I went to mix up my cans and I added some more water. I came back and lifted the lids, and there was a strong odor of chlorine. I used the water from my garden hose...
Are all my micros dead?
Snipping the taproot is a cool technique. I first saw this from Oldtimer1. Here is a link to his bonzai mum / cloning page that has been around for a long time.

I havent potted up yet.
Thank you both very much for the replies!!! This will help me sleep a bit better tonight.
I made it correctly as far as I know. I'm going to dump the cans in the pool an do a little mixin tomorrow. I'll probably give it another week to see if it levels out...
I did a ph test of my soil mix and I have a question for y'all.
I watered a 1 gallon pot of soil with 7.3 tap water and let it sit for a day. Ran more water through and tested the runoff.
The ph of my runoff is at 5.8.
I added just over a cup of prilled dolomite to my batch.
Should I add...
It would be the highlite of my life to chill with you and smoke some melty!
Its going to be a sad day when you leave the boards...
Your knowledge has helped me tremendously [and many others]. I want to make sure I say THANK YOU while I get the chance!
Cool. I can bump up the Guano no prob. Thnx MetalHead!
Its a matter of getting and having certain ingredients for me.
I would love to follow it perfectly, I just want to get as close as possible.

Yo Sub! Any chance for some advice on my mud from a couple posts back? I'm eager to get it cooking.
I grow some heavy feeder indica and indica dom hybrids. This mix should be good for them?
Thanks in advance for any info!!!
