It seems to me there are no nutes in this. The bag doesn't say it, the owner told me it didn't have it, my soil test kit comes back clean and just to be sure I flushed the soil with 1 gallon of ph'd water per pot (pots are 4" square pots... small pots.).

I suppose after it all there could be some nutes somewhere, but it doesn't seem likely but I'm open minded.

With all that said what do you think rhizome? Also does promix come in a giant black bag? I think I Saw some at a hydro shop but was told it was coconut? I could've seen something else that wasn't proMix.

Is there a chain store I could pick up this stuff at?
daihashi Reviewed by daihashi on . 77-80 Degrees w/ 35% humidity. Possible heat problem? I have a few plants that are exhibiting some problems while others are doing just fine. These plants are only about 7 days old. My soil has no nutes and PH is around 7.0PH. I water this with water PH'd to 5.9 and the runoff comes out to be between 6.3 and 6.6. I only water twice a week, trying to get 3-4 days in between. I germinated these seedlings in paper towels and then placed them in rapid rooters before placing them in their semi permanent homes.
