Latest soil test for recycling/re-amending - looking for some thoughts on input choices

Yeah I'm letting some EM activate right now and plan to top off the SIP rezs by the occasional top feed/water and let it run through

How are things going for you? I don't think that Big-6 was the miracle product that I was hoping that it would be. I actually stumbled across a couple of things that I think I have messed up on. 1st- I came across the word Phytotoxicity again, so I googled it and it was talking about trace metals and salinity. It's very possible that I added to much Big-6 or just the fact of adding it to the roots caused problems? I know things like Boron and Copper can be toxic and there is a fine line between a deficiency and toxicity. 2nd- I was reading an article on fixing Mn problems in soil and it said that chelating Mn might only compound the problem because the chelate will bond with iron, which has more stable bond, and it will cause the plant to uptake more iron than Mn and it will compound the problem. http://corn.agronomy.wisc.edu/Management/pdfs/a2526.pdf

I don't know if any of this helps???

I held off on using any Big6 this time around and added a dash of Azomite instead. My plans are to get another soil test ran after this run.

So far no signs of issues, knock on wood. Other than the clones I dropped in that had vegged way too long in 1g plastic pots thing took off and the SIPs appear to be working well. I've done zero top feed/water this time since I have trash bags layered atop and a good white mat formed under there initially once I gave it that final AEM water-in.
