Goeth thou, and PRINT! In fulle living coloure!Let's have it SM I need that on every door ;)
Most pro-mix that I have dealt with has just enough nutes in it for about a 2-week span.Perfect for seedlings,after that you can watch the nutes disappear from the mix.As your plants discolor and wither. You really have to be proactive with the orange bag. Otherwise they will get away from you. So you are spot on about nutes in pro-mix being "negligible at best". I really don't know how many different mixes of this stuff is available. I just see 2 where I shop. Do any of you mess with recycled mediums at all? Picked up an Edition of Best of Skunk and it had an article about it. Do any of you subscribe to his living soil methods?
Yes. That, and when people ask if they have a problem, or what their deficiency is, others may come in and say, "It's a cal-mag deficiency!" Ain't no such thang, brothers, ain't no such thang!Have things gotten to a state where people are going around claiming to have cal-mag defs? Like cal-mag is one thing? lol I'm really asking cause I can never tell what kind of new dummy is going to pop up. Then yes.. that should be very apparent to most people.. I'd assume.. lol again.. I never know..
Promix hp (and the other bags) most certainly need to be fortified very early on. And yeah the myco thats in it is laughable at best. I use to run big beds and pots of promix a long time ago and it would do one well to mix extra dolomite lime into the mix before planting. Man i used to buy promix like in 25 bale bags. The big ones too. I glad them days are over. The newer sunshine mix bags (all the different formulas) have much more thought and care put into them. Heard the coir blend formula was really nice. Sorry off topic but had to chime in on promix. Man i use to use ALOT of that stuff.
That's a good one, wish I had thought of it myself!Okay.. okay.. Then yes, you're thread title is correct. Just show them a table of elements and ask them to point to calmag. ;)

What do you think of azomite,a nursey said you don't need to buy all that other stuff then. He said that the (AZ) in azomite means everything from a A to Z is in it?Everbodies thought process would be a great help!I like it mainly because it has been the most bug-free brand I've used. That and I'm a control freak when it comes to food/amendments.
I re-use promix often, unless I have a population of gnats that I can't get a handle on. EWC's, extra perlite, and new soil is good to have on hand to liven it up some in between plantings. That and using beneficials and either/or organic liquid nutes, organic dry nutes...it seems to break down less. When I used salt based nutes..I noticed it would get really compacted and wouldn't absorbed liquid well. I just pull the tap root at and don't even worry about the roots unless it is like a furball that I can just toss aside.
Excuse the ignorance @Seamaiden but what does the clay have in it. Is it a substitute for green sand?
