ok after research and thinking i remembered that when i tested my water with those test strips i had VERY hard water the sticked turned purple indicating over a 900ppm i looked around and this can be a big factor so ill be leaving here(work) in 5 min to go home and check on the ladies il going to flush out my soil and use distilled water for now i already ordered calmag plus a few days ago to suppliment what the distilled water doesnt have im just still wondering if i should add the blood meal im unsure of how much to add to the top of the soil or if i should mix it right in the water.
