I didnt know about the composting thing. Thats very helpfull to know and will save me trouble later on in life thanks

Fine for outdoor gardening, bad for container gardening. Same goes for egg shells, table scraps, dead fish...

I find it funny that you throw away your probs, I actually hold them in the same respect especially since it was an ebay buy. I dont trust it completely but it has been giving my consistent values. what else do you recommend to check the soil?

I know a couple of gardeners onsite that use 'em, but I've never had one that does anything other than tell when the soil is wet (acidic) or when it's dry. (alkaline) I've only had 3 in my life, none were worth a damn.
You can get around having to test the soil by using the ph pen. Know your ingoing ph, then test the runoff ph. If the numbers are the same, (or within a couple of decimal points) your soil is fine. If your soil ph is dropping, you know the lime in the soil is likely fading. If the ph comes out higher...you're adding, or have added, something to make that increase happen. But if the runoff is still in-range, don't sweat it.
MG soil is usually a tad low for my likes, and has become a bit inconsistent. I e-mailed 'em about the differences, and was told that they buffer to between 5.5 and 7.5. It used to be a tighter range, (it's what I learned to grow cannabis with) but that has changed.

The aerating was just a bandaid fix. Im hoping its just the pot size, we will see.

Let the soil dry, and carefully pop the rootball out. If rootbound, all you'll see is...roots. (little or no soil visible) Give yourself room to do this, as the branches will be vulnerable to tabletops, trash can edges...

I do appreciate your advice!

Some do, some don't. But thanks. (or you're welcome...) :thumbsup:

I see that the Fafard has too low of a Ph level so I dont want to use it. I started with MG so it might be fine to finish with. Im hoping that since its the 6 month mix it will also help out to continue with my no nute def! Thanks

Most any medium you use, you will have to learn it's quirks and needs.
You can compensate (by a couple of decimal points of ph) by raising the ingoing ph to the high side. Most any medium can be adjusted to suit your needs, but some need more than just raising the ingoing liquid ph. Fafards isn't the worst choice. I guarantee a lot of gardeners would prefer it to the MG, but MG has an undeserved bad rap, IMHO.
