lets see some pictures , it had to pour out like pancake batter
actually robert it didnt seem thick at all a bit came out after i waterd but not alot like a teaspoon mabey in the runoff.thats why i made the mistake it didnt seem too much at all until i realized i miss read some info.2/3 cup per cubic foot not per gallon.i was probly stoned........... its been a week since i put the girls in 1 gallons for veg cant really pull them out and repot now guess ill cross my fingers till i repot to the 3 gallon and some fresh mix .i dont think it should hurt cause its pretty slow acting and wont raise ph past 7 anyway, my only worry an abundance of calcium locking out nutes.any thoughts?

you can re pot at any time for any reason this sounds like a perfect reason to change some of that soil that will be toxic for the plant
using sunshine mix 4 i hear its inert so dont think theres lime already. figured too much wouldnt hurt after all its just crushed rock.ive heard of others making simillar mistakes without issues im just not up for a gamble. i need meds asap so id be set back a few weeks if i had to start over.my plants are ok for now but theyve only been a week in the mix. repotting would be a last option for me due to a shortage of mix(cant find another bale of sunshine 4 anywhere)u think i could flush out some of it?a small amount came out during my initiall watering.mabey a good flush could help
What I noticed is that the older they got the more the High PH made there leaves go yellow and the plant weak and not take up nutes.
Flush didn't work well for me but maybe it will for you. I do use soil called lamberts potting soil and it seems to be fine its organic.
Best of Luck.
