Too late to save?

Curious s as to how long you’ve been able to reuse ffof. I’ve been keeping it in a compost bin and never had problems until this one. Could be three years old or more, probably six grow cycles, and it appears to have lost its suitability now that I’ve compared it to a new bag.

Re water, I learned the hard way that my spring water source will not work in any soil without pH correction. My first few grows always went to hell once flowering commenced. Once I started correcting the ph they did well. I think the raw pH is 8.5 or so.

FFOF and tap water…… simple.

No special water.

This is ready to use , right from the bag . My city water hits 7.2-7.4 ph on average , 355 ppm ( hard water ) , FFOF is prebuffered and will adjust to plant needs. Alkaline ph water is suited more for human needs.

Tap water is good enough for your petunias … your lawn , trees outside. Municipal water has enough calcium and magnesium in most circumstances all without adding calmag in an attempt to “compensate” .

It’s potting soil ….

No mystery or overthinking involved. It’s literally ready for any plant - houseplant , vegetable or cannabis.
It is heavily nuted and will feed for weeks - on just water. After that , add more fresh soil or a few tablespoons of dry fertilizer… that’s it.
