@leadsled Thanks for the how to on Boron. I have MicroPak from AEA, but I think the level of Boron supplied only maintains boron levels with the %'s shown. THanks.
@terranovaLOS DId you get your coots soil mix tested? I am wondering why you think it is a "incredibly light and low in P" mix. My soil tests show almost everything in excess, including P.
Welcome. You test shows you are already kinda high in some trace elements. Adding micropak will just add more of other trace elements you already have. Probably safest to just add the boron.@leadsled Thanks for the how to on Boron. I have MicroPak from AEA, but I think the level of Boron supplied only maintains boron levels with the %'s shown.

Bloc 14? Google here I come....
Hey Bulldog. Long time no see. Glad the Coots is doing well for you. Some of my girls are 5 foot easy and growing like weeds. The Coots mix is great. Coot himself called Jamie up and talked to her for hours. He approved the goodies that go into the mix. I have never seen such a good soil. Well after the EWSF fiasco last year, anything would seem good, LOL. You still have some of the EWSF crap laying around? I worked with it all last fall and early spring and finally got it to mix up good. I can send you the recipe if you wish. Michael Astera did a Rx on the mix and said it was good to go. You mentioned the Oly Mountain compost. Jamie has it for sale. We mixed up several batches and they all came back very high in pH. Michael is not a big fan of the Oly due to the salts contained in it. This was also evident in the tests we have from Logan Labs.
Anyway, I am not sure how to send a personal pm here, but shoot me one if you can. Have a good one friend and nice seeing you again.

fyi,That complete system is where it's at. Yes, you can order from Montrose Co. Yes, they have a mix pre-mixed ready made coots mix. It might cost a few bucks for shipping, so buy as much as you can.
Yes. Same with p and k.Sodium probably high from the Oly compost?
Pretty sure you are looking at the last test post. That is for the oly mtn compost that is in the build a soil mix.Wow, not to mention your Ca is really low, and your base saturation levels are off by quite a bit......My tests look much better. Are you saying your mix is a build-a-soil mix? That you put together, or bulk delivery? Mine came from grass valley, and I will have to tell Jami how much better her numbers look than Build-a-soils.
