I am having a problem guys and i believe i know what the problem is but I just want to check with someone else. I mixed up a batch of hp pro mix with vermiworm (0.05-0.04-0.05)at 6 gals hp and 1 worm.. It has been 3 days and a few of my plants are clawing and a few are getting yellow in the leafs.. Did I make my soil to hot with the earthworm castings? If I did can I just flush it out? Not sure what to do was thinking of trashing the soil and retransplanting..Any advice would be much appreciated.

Imho.
If worm stuff, and promix is what you use, and you know usually how much to give.
Then, if its only a few days since you potted. Transplant them.
May i suggest, not rinsing, or doing anything to the root ball, when you do. I reckon leave the hot soil, on the roots.
Then place them, in a fresh pot of PLAIN promix. Then water it riiiiiiight in, with straight, ph'd water. This way you still get the worm stuff. But it'll spread right through the pot, and cleanse the roots. At the same time.
Its going to stunt them a little. But whether you like it or not you've stunted them already.
I think transplanting's a good idea :peace:

IMHO
Just do as i suggested.
If the pot is fairly dry before you remove the root ball, and transplant. Id recommended wetting it, so the roots slip out easier.
Good luck.
