Will do. Thank you for the advice!

I have a batch of soil that has been cooking since April/May (6 months or so) in a composter and I have had a hard time getting the ph up to 6.5. It usually reads between 5.9 - 6.1 with my bluelabs soil ph pen. I have slowly added oyster shell to try to bring it up bit by bit but it has not...

Good points but I was referring to the THC portion if the original post. I don't use hydrocodone. However, to those that do, enjoy! :mrgreen:

Why reinvent the wheel? Give me the real thing the way mother nature provided it to us first. This just makes it easier for big pharma to mass produce and "tweak" it so they can poison us.

I was interested cause I thought "kill 3 birds with 1 stone." I use kelp for potassium as well but figured getting mag and sulfur was just gravy on top. I had not seen much on it so I thought I would start a discussion. Thanks for all the good info.

Ok, thanks.

I saw that it had a chlorine content (3% I think) which can't be good for beneficials, right? Anybody have any insight they can share?

I recently purchased a BluLabs Soil PH pen. Well worth the money IMO.

Nothing but good things to say about Herbies here in Texas...

I have not actually added the rock phosphate and gypsum yet but I think I will. I was trying to keep the heavy metals down to a minimum. When I recycle this mix don't really plan on adding any more Fox Farm soils; I had those just laying around and thought they would make a good base. In the...

Soil has been mixed and started cooking! Can't wait to see the results in about 30 days; then 5-6 months after that! The rock phosphate and gypsum I bought are the organic versions from Espoma. Not sure if that make a difference in the heavy metal dept though. I am sure the kelp meal I added...

Pattahabi, are you sayin 2-4 cups of rock dust for every c.f. ?

Awesome, thanks for your feedback. I appreciate it.

I know people will give me grief about FF soils but I have them laying around and plan on reusing the soil by re-amending. (Base) 1.5 cu.ft. FF Ocean Forest 1 cu.ft. FF Original Planting Mix 1 cu.ft. Black Gold (OMRI) .75 cu ft. Earthworm castings (OMRI) .50 cu ft. Ancient Forest Humus 1.75...

I have had nothing but good luck with Herbies. Don't blame Herbies; blame the breeder. There is always a possibility u did something wrong as well. ;-)

Just read that u r trying to save money and AN is not cheap. I plan on building my own soil in the future but did not have the time to wait for it to cook this time.

I am using advanced nutrients organic line up with my ocean forest mix and the ladies are loving life! Good luck! Btw, I never ph my water. Just use RO or distilled water

I am definitely tryin this! Thanks!
