You married? Have kids? Do you give them medicine before you know whats wrong?
I’m on the road, not trying to be lazy, I brought up the mix, these aren’t my pics etc. from the page and then just a pic I grabbed
I’ve added craft blend from BAS, Kashi Blend, and Rootwise stuff, on schedules etc. when they were in 3 gals they got a BAS build a bloom top dressing, and showed no problems until in the boxes.

I know it’s something I’m overlooking and needed to give you guys more info. Thanks for taking the time to help, even with me being frustrating.
I haven’t done anything yet, that’s why I’m here. So I don’t make it worse.

I can’t use my water. The sodium ppm is way too high. I could use it from my sisters 10 mins away, with a carbon filter but everyone has modern faucets and it’s winter. Outside access is frozen. I’m buying water. It was individual gallons, but that grossed me out quick from the plastic waste. I have 5 3gallon jugs I refill. I’ll be doing a rain barrel when winter is over. For now it’s still bottled. Which is just RO with “minerals added.”
) disability. I’m bending to care for plants etc when the plan was to be able to take them out and do them at table level. Haha. Not complaining, just part of it. The tent is upstairs too, and the only other choice is the basement, which I have decided to move too. It’s a lot of up and down which I’m not used to.
I will grab a cheap meter, and only the meter (& yuca). I will follow those directions when I get home. After I lug this water in, and smoke one.No worries.
I do not see any lime in your mix, but I do see Gypsum. So, I think your pH is too low.
Do a slurry test when you get home and lets see where it is currently.

Knowing the pH of your growing medium is important from time to time. The soil pH slurry test is the easiest way of finding the true pH level of your soil based growing medium. For this you'll need: pH Meter - Cheap Amazon pH Pen - Blue Lab pH Pen - Blue Lab Soil pH Pen Cup or Container -...
Have you posted your local water report?I can’t use my water. The sodium ppm is way too high.

I have a natural spring 25 minutes away in Saratoga. That’s where I should be taking it. It’s cold, I’m busy as hell and worn out. I do have a physical (not just mental
For shure
Yes, but I’m not sure it’s in this thread. @Aqua Man took a look at it for me way back in the beginning because I knew my sodium levels, and others were misunderstanding when I talked about Sodium ppm in my water. I’ll find it. I promise I can’t use it though. Horticulturist, soil makers, BAS, etc all said the same I’d read in an article early on which gave me the worry, and contributed to my outdoor problem in the summer. I don’t actually count that. They were clones dropped off and I had no idea what to do. But it did lead me here to indoor growing and knowing much more. BUT! Only enough to be confused and really dangerous to the ladies.
Thats awesome I just hate carrying that much soil around lol
Don’t think for one second I carried it up. Hahaha. They may not know things and be bored of hearing about it but they’ll all want to share if I pull anything out of there. They can help.
The hydro store didn’t have a “soil pen” just the stick in soil type. I didn’t get it because that’s not what you said to do, or using in the pic. I do have a digital water PH/PPM tester I got early on (I was adjusting then as I started in happy frog, as I knew this was too hot (won’t do that again). I don’t know if that’s going to give the accuracy we want but I did stick it in. If we’re going to go by it, or even in it’s range, I’m at 5.25. Which I know is an issue. BUT! I did take it from about an inch or two down, it’s the freshest of what’s in the earth box, and have now read maybe take a sample at another spot. There’s no a lot of “dry” because the earth boxes are wicking, emptying, wicking etc. I could take it from the 7gals but they don’t have a problem. Lights are out, I just made it to grab the sample, and will do better tomorrow. There’s another organics store, in the next city, I can probably get a correct pen for. Thanks for all of this! Here is the water report, as promised. I hate this thingNo worries.

Thank you!! It came with the earth boxes actually. I’ll check what it is though really first.
The 2 cups is for the entire Earth box, not one plant.Thank you!! It came with the earth boxes actually. I’ll check what it is though really first.
I have to thank everyone for being so patient with me with the facts being so painfully obvious. It’s mentioned above, in a not at all judgmental way, just factually. Which is also rare in public forums of all kinds. I’m just comfortable with my experience here.
I am at this point so I am taking the crash course in the plant and the medium. I can’t look back. I know it’s correct. In the words of one of my favorite artists…
I couldn’t walk, and I tried to run…. JL.
There is one plant in each. It’s about 9 gallons of soil.
2 tablespoons per gallon is 18 tablespoons each 9 gallon planter.
Got it! Thank you, again, so much!! I’ve looked at the stuff that came with the earth boxes, 1 per box actually, with a few other things and I believe this dolemite is what is says it is. It’s here and it’s going in now, at the rate & method you said to use.
