heh....dice up limes...thanks for that, I needed a good laugh this morning
Roger Wilco on that. I have a big ass bag of perlite, in your opinion, how much would you add. I was going to start with 2-4 sacks of FFOF, should I dump the whole bag of perlite in with them? Right now I just have the 2 bags, but I am thinking I may need to get more obviously, (just what I could afford at the time), to get me through my first round anyway.
So is FF adding lots of lime to compensate for the "hotness" of the light warrior and ocean forrest or what? I thought that was really wierd that I was seeing burning, while the soil ph was so high too?
I hate to do it, but when I get the ffof mixed and ready, I am going to really flush it out really well until the ph is perfect, but man I can't help but think I am going to be flushing out all the goodies that cost extra! Damn it! Oh well, guess that what my veg nutes are for. Here I was thinking that I was getting ahead of the game by using ff, it's turning out to be more of a pain in the ass than the soil I got from the nursery for my last grow. Good learning exp. I guess!:jointsmile:
