    Recommendations for places to get a soil test?

    just keep in mind a soil-test for organic soil isn't really a conclusive thing to base any adjustments on, remember the nutrient availability is going to change a LOT, especially since it's freshly made. As it breaks down it changes like crazy. here is a link, read the first paragraph and ALWAYS...

    Coots mix problems

    absolutely my friend, i'm very pleased it helped, I've found that this simple thing is often overlooked, I've done it myself in fact, it's very easy to make that mistake.

    Coots mix problems

    been meaning to respond to this for over a week but have been juggling too much so one thing worth mentioning is that if you are adding any nutrients to your AACT it'll make your results a lil less than desirable.. but it doesn't surprise me that you were unhappy with your results considering...

    Coots mix problems

    sorry for the late reply my man, this summer is pretty crazy at my shop, and my broken hand is only slowing me down alright, so I know exactly what you are thinking too, as I had/have the same thought. repeatedly in fact.. I have been thinking very heavily on getting a blumat setup to see for...

    Coots mix problems

    yea, that's why I mentioned it man, and like I said what happens is that the soil settles, and all those finer particulates float up because of the soil tension and then drain down, to the bottom, and the sides, the first like 5 waterings after transplant are absolutely crucial to the plant's...

    Coots mix problems

    something looks off in that mix. I agree visually they do look to be overwatered, what method are you using to see if they need water? dipping the finger, lifting the container? one thing I like to utilize is a mix with different types and sizes of aeration, if I were to make an educated guess...

    also for the record although you read ALL about stress, heat, light, etc, this and that, I've never had a plant that wasn't already prone to herm'ing actually herm'ing. So for what that's worth.

    i wouldn't sweat the preflowers man, that happens on the majority of cannabis strains, it essentially is indicating that they are mature. now if they are autos then obviously that is why, but on photos they'll indicate at roughly 40 days or so, less depending on strain and light schedule. but...

    Light ???

    personally I wouldn't do anything at all, theres plenty of soil in there for all, besides grass tends to attract the correct types of bacterial microbes that cannabis likes. past that the only option is to induce another thermophilic stage of the compost to "cook" the seeds. but I wouldn't sweat...

    yea, but getting microbes to inoculate the soil is simple. fertilizer doesn't kill them sure, but it disrupts the balance and symbiotic relationship between the plant and the soil web, not to mention the entire biology behind it all is predicated on it being left alone. Quite the synergistic...

    well shit man, it's absolutely baffling that you don't agree... I think ya gotta get yourself a nice pimp-daddy compost and a wormbin and make yourself some living soil, and see if it's any different, i'd bet body parts you'd agree.. so i'm not a believer in the whole "specific nutrients" for...

    all I gotta say is that if chelated salt grows could be as good as organics, then WHY would anyone bother with organics? nobody would. everybody knows and acknowledges that a hydroponic system will grow faster there is much more to plants than just the macros and micros like that kelp for...

    absolutely one of my favorite sayings is this "an argument doesn't always have to be bad, either you prove how smart you are, or learn something new, either way it's a win/win." ahh yes, that's actually my biggest difference between me and other growers, I reaaaally like me a complete spectrum...

    hope you had a good weekend man. so that "myth from the forums" the whole "organics tastes better" thing it um, was LONG before the world even knew the wonderful oddity that is the internet man and it was ALL from a simple "hey why does this one taste better, whats in it?" type of thing. not to...

    precisely. that's one of my primary points. 80% of the plant problems I see aren't related to a lack of nutrients at all. maybe even more than 80%

    I think that's what you guys are misinterpreting from me, there is no right or wrong, it's a matter of preference, are you going to try and tell me that I don't like tiny petite blonde girls too? or tell me I don't like sushi or carne asada? its a matter of preference, and there are no rules to...

    damn dude, you're killin me here seems to be a misunderstanding again. please read what I said and don't infer anything to it, take what I said as exactly what the words mean. face value. seems to be a "black and white" type thing with you. I didn't say a blanket statement, at all. when did I...

    re-read my post man, never did I say those were needed, I said that's how hydro growers typically grow, you being in an organic soil mix using chemical nutrients is a hybrid of the two. not sure how you understood that as being applicable to a soil grow, I was making a point n the differences...
