Tim, you never did explain how composting leaches nutrients from soil. Why don't you explain it?
Isn't it true that the purpose of composting is to create nutrient availability? Isn't that why growers add compost? If people add compost to provide nutrients, how does it leach nutrients from soil?

Krazed,
Sorry your thread has become a "warzone" with disagreement and conflict.

On the watering issue. it's best to get your plant on a wet/dry watering schedule. By watering too frequently but never enough to get runoff...you were overwatering and underwatering at the same time. Like Tim said.

A certain amount of chemistry is helpful in understanding plant nutrition. The phrase salts...as in nutrient salts merely means a molecule composed of ionically charged components. Na+ combines with cl- to form the neutrally charged NaCl (table salt). This sort of thing is occuring constantly in the rootzone...though hopefully not with table salt.

Nutrient salts can leached out (or perhaps washed might be a better phrase) ...of some of the soil compnents especially during overwatering yet still remain in the rootzone. These nutrient salts toxify rootzone mostly by messing with ph.

New nutrient absorption under such circumstances is problematic. End result is plant doing poorly with multiple deficiencies.

So PolishPollack...try to focus on the issues and not on attacks.

To Krazed...you have too many bottles of stuff that you want to add to your grow...but easy does it. Journey of 1000 miles begins with one step. ...and all that shit lol

Attacks are necessary to prevent bad info from being spread and taken as gospel. To attack the writer is better than that which was written, but the writer proves their stupidity with what they write.
