Zeolite is supposed to help in these situationsCheck out how Gypsum and also bone char can counterteact to the heavy metals. What was the amendment you added that was so high?
Zeolite is supposed to help in these situations
Have you checked your water supply? My city water can have high arsenic. Ive seen it at 10ppm. Gtfo!
I think it has to be a water issue.
"Michigan has naturally higher arsenic levels in groundwater."
.
The whole things seems odd IMO. Does Michigan test strawberries for heavy metals too? Seems like another layer of bullshit if you ask me. I would test it again.Thats what I am thinking as well. I do you RO filtered water. So its odd to think there would be any metals leftover afterwards.

I change filters as recommended by the manufacturer. I also check PPM regularly to make sure its still keeping low PPM. But seeing you say the manufacturer recommendations are lower then they claim i should change them sooner.Test your water.
How regularly do you change filters?
The life of filters isnt as long as the mfg claims imo. Hydrologic and growonix are the two ive purchased. Good products! Never tested the water. My hydrologic carbon filter only last for 600 gallons or so of ro water. The package claims 1500 i think maybe 3000....lol my ass!
The mfg suggests this and that. Their claims are bullshit. 10,000 gallons then a new ro filter... that sll depends how bad your water is to start with. The mfg's will put (in small letters) these numbers can only reflect how dirty your water is. The cleaner the longer it lasts. What would be nice is them coming up with a chart that lists the different ppms lets say 100, 200, 300, 400, 500. Then tell us how long the filters last based on each individual start ppm..if a company put that info on the box, and it's true, thats an honest company. Id buy and promote their products! We dont get that though...I change filters as recommended by the manufacturer. I also check PPM regularly to make sure its still keeping low PPM. But seeing you say the manufacturer recommendations are lower then they claim i should change them sooner.
Wow, thanks for that link that was very helpful.Kelp meal is extremely high in Arsenic in general, and some are worse than others. The arsenic in seaweed is a major dietary cause of cancer in the diet of some Asian populations. I'm going to be honest with you, there isn't much you can do to lower the heavy metal content in your soil, you might need to get new soil. This time, only use products that have been third party tested for heavy metals: https://apps1.cdfa.ca.gov/fertilizerproducts/. All kelp meal is loaded with arsenic, but there are some kelp extracts out there that are "below detectable limits" for arsenic. Don't buy anything that isn't "below detectable limits" because this stuff builds up in soil over time, and there is no excuse to have ANY heavy metals in our soil/fertilizers. Organics really are the worst for heavy metals-look at the levels of arsenic and cadmium in various Earth Juice or Nectar for the Gods products...it's inexcusable. Then look at mineral salt fertilizers like General Hydroponics, Flora, Flora Nova, and Maxi lines-all below detectable limits. If GH can make a product without heavy metals, there is no excuse for anyone else to allow them.

Quoted for true!!! Most of em are recycled agricultural/industrial waste .Organics really are the worst for heavy metals-look at the levels of arsenic and cadmium in various or products...it's inexcusable.

Whats the best amino chelated nute?Quoted for true!!! Most of em are recycled agricultural/industrial waste .
Also animal meals are very nasty and untraceables....cheap composts used as ingredients for soil mixes also can be loaded with unknown crap...
I remember reading also bad things about azomite and heavy metals...
Amino chelated salt nutrients seems to me right now best choice for clean cannabis...
Damn....few days ago i gave the dose of kelp that i used to give to the soil once x cycle....
ATM im using Megacrop A+B and i cant say nothing bad about it...weightwise and flavorwise...Whats the best amino chelated nute?
