The thing about soil mixing is that you really won't know how well you did untill after the grow. I ruined a good harvest because of nitrogen toxicity. Play it safe and don't worry about the ratios now, what is done is done. But I would cut that soil before use. Best of luck.Hey, thanks so much for the help. What I'm worried about is that I may have added too much greensand, which I know is a very slow-release form of nitrogen (I plan on recycling my soil mix). I may have added too much soft-rock phosphate, as well. I swear I wasn't baked when I was making my soil mix haha. I was just rushing because I had to go to work, like I said. Cooking the mix longer should help correct that, too, right?
I guess what I'm really asking is if you put incorrect ratios of any type of soil conditioner/fertilizer in your soil mix initially, will it disrupt the cooking process altogether?
I agree with you about running a clone or something in it first. I was actually planning on just planting a couple different bag seeds I've found, since I didn't pay for those and don't really plan on growing out anyway, just to see if they'd sprout.
Anyway, yeah, thanks for your response.

Get a soil testing kit from a hardware store and figure out where your levels actually are. Dirt cheap and accurate
It is?
The greensand I use has an NPK value of 0-0-3. No nitrogen.
It was a small harvest. And the buds had to be long cured before they smoked smooth.Thanks for your response. I did add more of the base soil mix two days after I initially mixed the soil and additives. Do you think that'd help? Also, what do you mean you "ruined a good harvest because of nitrogen toxicity"? Do you mean the harvest looked good and you pulled a decent amount, but the buds smoked crappy because of too much nitrogen? Or did your plants fry? Just wondering....
Yep, you're right, so is the greensand I use, my bad. But it is very slow-release, right? Do you think that adding 1.5 times the amount the soil mix recipe called for will screw me further down the line?

Greensand is for slow release potassium and other micronutrients
Only use greensand if you are reusing your soil after each run. Otherwise there are better options (langbeinite)
Bro what's you recipe? Kinda hard for anyone to tell you if your ok with out knowing your mix. Tell us what your putting in a cubic foot.
Wow quite the combo....so you base is about 1 cubic foot. If you only went over on the kelp oyster shell and gypsum I'd say that would be the least of your worries.
