    Blue Mountain Organics UPDATE

    . Ibezphil2005... Yes, I agree their products are well made, and fairly priced. I've been using them for years, and they provide a clean, gentle feeding solution, minus all the dyes, pH adjusters, harsh chemical chelates, etc... . Just nutrients, in plain jane bottles, that work. No flashy...

    Jewgrow... Is correct, the best way to check soil pH is using a soil pH meter. The reading will be far more accurate (pH wise). Run off can however, reveal if your medium has excessive nutrient buildup. Which would be reflected by a high TDS reading. . Since your tap water is so high in pH (and...

    . Bambu... When you're soil pH is out of sorts, and you need results now. Not weeks from now. Using pH adjusted water **, pH adjusted compost tea, or pH adjusted feeding teas, will render quicker results. . Dry amendments take more time to act on soil pH, because they have to be acted upon by...

    Rrog.... I completely agree with you about going all organic. For some folks, it's harder to pull off, and bagged soils end up being pretty much their only choice. Most bagged soils, are really lacking in micro-life, adding some into them, really benefits the plants, and the grower in the long...

    Buggins.... Being this far into it, don't topdress. Instead, brew yourself a nice Guano Tea, using 1/2 oz of High N Bat Guano and 1/2 oz of High P Guano, placed into 3 gallons of unchlorinated water, along with 1 tsp of Unsulphured Molassed, bubble for 24 hours, turn off the air pump, and check...

    WatchhowIdoit..... Running a pH below 5 will damage feeder roots, I would never advise going below a pH of 5.5 for any feeding solution, wheter it be chem ferts, organic ones, like Bio Bizz, BMO, Earth Juice, Guano Teas or Compost Teas. The medium can only self regulate, if you don't kill off...

    Og18..... When you add grow and/or bloom fertilizers, each will affect the pH in different ways. If you can dail the pH of your feeding solution to a range of 5.5 to 6.5 you'll get the best results. . Try this, next time before you add any fertilizers to your water. Put your feeding water in a 3...

    Indicaman19..... Guanos are great natural fertilizers. One thing you might consider adding to get the most out of them, is a root inoculant. Like Super Plant Tonic (ebay), Roots Organism XL, or Plant Success (the last two are carried by most hydro stores) . With the beneficial bacteria and...
