FFOF Fox Farm Ocean Forest, as opposed to Hippy Fig or Lite Worrier.
Checked it out, Happy Frog has nutes, light warrior doesn't.
>>>>>yeah the gal at the local grow shop said Froggy should have enough nutes in it for 35-45 days.
pH is my first guess. I always had N lockout when using water in the Hydro range of 5.5-6.5, soil likes it higher, 7.0-8.0 has been my experience. But some depends on how much buffers you have in the soil (like lime, oyster shell, ect.)
>>>>>>>> cool, good info thanks.
What were the cuts gifted to you in? Medium and size? Sometimes there is a shock between mating different systems and nutes, also transplant shock is possible.
>>>>The cuts were not the greatest and did have some small lower leaves curled and yellowed. They were in beer cups with slits in the bottom. They sprayed them with Deem? Neem? before they bagged them for me. The MMC dudue said it may take 2 weeks of shock after I transplant them before they come to life.
Edit: And running well water you want to be sure to have constant pH monitoring (cheap liquid test is fine). And get it tested yearly for metals content. Well water is great because it doesn't have any microbial killing Chlorine or Chloramine in it, but it also isn't conditioned at any water distribution facility.
If you water is at +300 ppm, some companies make a 'hardwater' nute formula.
>>>>>>I bought the liquid Ph tester for water (16 bucks worth). I wonder if I could use it to test the soil. I have a natural flowing artesian well on my 27 acres. Maybe a good test would be beneficial..since I have been drinking it for 5 years now, lol.
It's from another site, but start with the form.
That will give us a bunch more info.

>>>will do, Bub!
pH up. I don't know of organics besides ammendments like lime or oyster shell (chicken feed, calcium carbonate), but I just use store bought liquid pH up for adjusting water.
>>>I saw the liquid ph adjusters in the local grow shop, I will get some asap
And if you want to spend the money to test your soil pH, check out your local CSU Extension Office for questions about your Planting Bed Soil.
>>>10-4, Roger that. Thanks for the help!
