I suspect that's what happened! I suspect I'm not having issues with it because I add Dolomite to everything. I'm going to adjust the rest of the bag to a proper, not much left anywayOcean forest has vent holes. It is not sealed.
Poor storage is a real issue. And freshness.

Still was quite a shock at 5.1!! and I suspect the PPM was not affected, I think it's always that hot?
I add a tablespoon per gallon lime to the top couple inches before I water when I first plant, I suspect once again Dolemite saves my ass! :)Another companies info but pro mix recommends watering the first week with unadjusted tap water while the lime in the mix activates to keep the ph up.

Was doing some light reading thought you might be interested?My order arrives Aug 5-7.
I'm still looking and damn near drooling.:fire:Checking out the RH in the jar, getting ready to vacuum seal, here's Blackberry Gum today in sunlight, no flash, no filter; looking a lot like the picture from seedstockers website

thank you! it smokes nice too, I go to it a lot late night cuz it's pretty good for sleepI'm still looking and damn near drooling.:fire:
So I was wrong about the PPM and I wanted to clarifyI suspect that's what happened! I suspect I'm not having issues with it because I add Dolomite to everything. I'm going to adjust the rest of the bag to a proper, not much left anyway

So I was wrong about the PPM and I wanted to clarify
I just got a fresh bag of ffof delivered via Amazon, a slurry at two-to-one ratio as above test and it was under 700 PPM at 6.3pH
Not "Hot"
Light army green? Manufactured in different part of the country maybe? mine is black fluffy looks like loam almost, the pH could have been higher, I did the slurry last weekend when the new bags arrived, it was around 6.3-6.5, don't remember exactly, but ppm was 680 out the bag! Good stuff! :)I too just mixed perlite in and measured my new bag and i see almost 6.5 with the gh ph drops. Light army green color. And 1.4 ec (700ppm) on a blue lab truncheont in the runoff.
5 years ago pro mix hp had a starter nutrient charge (as well as 2 kinds of lime for short and long action). The fertilizer charge was also 1.4
They seem to have changed and cheapened their ingredients now. No calcinated lime and no nutrients now.

Got to break those clumps! I think when people hit hotspots with a seedling they've most likely hit a clump? I've hit only 2 into my fourth year with ffof nowAnd i want to add that bag after bag from different stores and shipments for the last 5 years every bag i bought tested this way after I mixed it up and broke up the clumps and added perlite. I think those steps are important.
Also needs to be fresh and dry and stored properly at the store.
View attachment 865504 Hey what's up folks! I figured I'd start this journal rather than say hello in the 'introduce yourself' thread because Seedstockers is fairly new and hard to find much info on them on the net, so I hope this will be both a "hello" and hopefully informative as well
Some of you might know me from another Cannabis Forum, but I got tired of the way it's run and all the toxic hate that's inspired and even provoked from the top on down, and that's enough said about that sewer of a website.
I guess seedstockers is a spinoff of some Dutch company I forget who right now but anyway I'm running their Blackberry Gum and it's a very easy plant to grow
I've just put two into flower a couple of days ago, here's a picture of a clone from one of the flowering plants (the other didn't root) pictures of the flowering pair will follow, as they are in dark now
I may take some cuts in a week or I have more seeds left if I want to start again, however I usually clone every plant in case it's special when I harvest it
The Blackberry gum is actually a blueberry crossed with Bubblegum, it's short, bushy and it's a perfect plant for me to start growing via LST, a new method for me. Any tips on LST training are welcomed.
I bought some small plastic tomato hooks and I'm going to start spreading my plants out via LST, only very mildly as I don't have the desire for all that time & effort some put into it.
I'm an old-school grower from back before the internet so I'm going to get my Zips no matter what style I grow, but I do want to keep my plants shorter and my plant count within the bounds of my legal / legal state, so I'm going to give LST a try in this journal
That's about it as far as an introduction, I've been reading here for a few months and it seems like a much more chill place, also I love the seed selection for sale here, wish I found it a long time ago! Anxious to read more, say hello to friends old and new and hear possible recommendations for strains going forward, thanks for reading, Peace!
