Perhaps you got a bad bag. But if you did, why are you beating a dead horse with these continuing complaints? Get a new bag of different soil. <doh> You want excuses...blame me, as I'm not going to keep going through this bullshit with you.

I asked to see your exact test strips, you offer lame credentials that haven't yet helped you figure this out. But as defensive as you get, and as much resistance you show twords any possibility that it's not the soil...it isn't helping your situation now, is it?

Bummer I couldn't help. Good luck. :thumbsup:
Thanks. I'm actually not having problems anymore because I figured it out pretty much right away. I never blamed the soil. I was just asking questions. If I remember right, you're the one who suggested that they possibly left the buffers out of that bag.... check that other thread.

I was debating the exact same thing before I started this grow: FFOF straight VS. FFOF/LW. I can see now why some people like to use FFOF/LW. I will probably do FFOF/Happy Frog. I didn't flush my FFOF when I transplanted to 5 gals.... so it was extra "hot" the first few waterings.

Here's the test strips...

I offer lame credentials and get defensive because you posted 3-4 times implying that I was somehow screwing up the process of taking readings. Just a little frustrating since I'm probably more precise than most soil growers out there with my readings.
