Help with my soil

[OD budzz]

Ok guys so i made a batch of soil with:

1 bag of organic potting mix
.5 cup of blood meal and another of bone
.5 cup of nitrogen
and did the mistake of adding hydrated lime

what im askin is, is this recipe fucked and not useable? i had all these products at the house already but i dont know if it would work..

thanks in advance

I'd say the hydrated lime is a fuck up...start over,use that soil for your garden or start adding it to a compost. After a while in the compost it should be good to screen and add to your proper soil mix.

alright thats what i figured...i just seen the lime and threw it in then later read about hydrated being really hot and not good for cannabis. i was also thinkin of doin my soil in layer..for example...manure..potting mix..law clipping...dead leaves..more manure and so on. what do you guys think?

I wouldn't add anything that isn't fully composted. Try the layer thing with fully composted materials....or you'll burn 'em up.

well i plan on having them potted and growin by late may so i dont have the time to fully compost all my material. what would be the best way to go here...im lost

Find compost that's done.....search local bagged compost sources and research what's in them. EWC is as good as compost...and it's ready to mix right away.
Make a compost pile and add a lactobaccilus culture. (or go spend $30+ a gallon on Hygrozyme) They will break down stuff at an incredible rate.
