Pro mix questions

[Aeroknow]

#3 perlite was alright. I think #4 they consider chunky? Can’t remember.
#2 will give you the white lung











I ain’t got time for dat shit

I wear my respirator and glasses when I mix and with the XLG most of the powder stays at the bottom of the bag anyway. I run what I do because of heat issues. You really should show these guys your grow. You grow some of the loveliest plants in the nicest grow room I've ever seen.

You show them your crop and they still talk shit. Bunch of haters lol. It’s honestly why i hardly even post in the grow forums anymore. Lol Bunch of know it alls.

LOL too true, it's why I rarely weeble out of TnT. It's really their loss, sad, because you have some of the most amazingly healthy plants in the best setup I've seen.

Yeah sure

just like you pulled 7 pounds from a 4x8

I pull 6 from the cake in a 4x8. Each light is over 4’x6’

Yeah ive seen your shit. This dude has 14” tall plants and claimed almost 7.

Not true. People could be running well water( like me) and have way different readings than your h20. I had nothing but problems with promix.

What does your well water run? I haven't bought a meter yet to check mine with....but I am in limestone country

This isn't about Pro mix but it's soil related. Root aphid?

7.6-8, high in manganese and iron.

@Alter Jean @Skeggöx
1 cuft of each compost, peat ( i use happy frog soil conditioner) aeration (I use rice hulls)
1.5 cups (of each) of milled malted barkey, kelp meal, neem meal, fish bone flour
4 cups gypsum , 4 cups rock dust
.5 cup langbeinite or sulpomag

This pic was taken last night and this plant has been in this 3.5 quart pot since May 1st. Just top dressed with a couple tablespoons of compost and 1 tablespoon of coast of maine lobster/kelp fert. Cuttings love this mix, you can plant seeds directly in it, but it's slow growing to start. No cook time needed.

I'm sure mine is about the same! Manganese was mined up the road from my house in the 30's ...and I have a little iron in my water also....do you see a effect on your plants if you don't address the water ph?

Thank you!

Hi Skeggox

I've been using Pro Mix by itself for 25 years, never a complaint. It's like a blank canvas when it comes to nutrients.

I wet the pro mix at 5 gallons of PM to 1 gallon on water.

Ever had these guys coming out of a new bale?

I'm needing to add some bacteria and fungi to my current grow. What would you recommend? I'm not very educated on the topic.and from what I understand you need to mix it with the soil before planting/transplanting correct?

Loof for KNF (Korean Natural Farming)

Looks like thrips which is odd as thrips don't use medium as part of their life cycle unlike fungus gnats which are often found in all sorts of mixes as the adults will lay eggs in any opening they find in bags/bales between manufacture and purchase by consumers.
