'sewer-sludge' is an outstanding soil additive ... 'Kellogg's Amend' is primarily 'sewer sludge' and rice hulls, grew the best tomato crop I ever had, in a 100% mixture of it ... I don't use it with my pot plants, using something else, but oh well ... the only thing 'wrong' with Miracle-Gro Soil is people's inability to READ the label ... having nitrogen already added in a time-release form, newbies add even more fertilizer, then can't understand why their plants are sick ... read the labels on your 'organic' products, and you will usually see natural minerals for their nutrient sources ... nitrogen, potassium, phosphorous, etc., are IN-organic minerals, remember ... does it really matter if the potassium comes from birdshit, or potash mined from the ground ??? ... just another way of looking at things ... :jointsmile:
the image reaper Reviewed by the image reaper on . what to do about tall seedlings? Anyways I have some 8 day old seedlings. They still only have 2 real leaves as of now. I made a mistake in the beginning by letting them strecth too much under a cfl. So now they are tall and lanky sorta. Anyways I dunno exactly what I should do if I should support the stems with a stick or to just let them grow on their own. None of them have fell over yet. I feal as if they are growing slowly due to being so tall. They are on 24 hour light schedule in a soilless mix called ProMix "BX" and are Rating: 5
