hey everyone, I mixed up my LC's mix #1 to have it not compost. I'm not sure what I did wrong but I'm 90% sure I didn't leave out the tapwater I used long enough, and the Cl in it prevented the microteam from getting it on. My question is, is the soil still good? Can I just wait until its totally dry and add water I'm sure is free of Cl?

This is sorta off topic but I'd like to get a little airpump to bubble water and teas eventually. I dont know anything about them so what kind of price range am I looking at? Can I just use a really small aquarium pump?

thanks dudes and dudettes

Very nice thread, I'm always trying to improve my understanding of how organics work. One day I'll take it a step further and get into the whole "soil recycling" angle, right now I just don't have the space.

One question and one comment. I take it from most of my reading that strict organic growers find high P/K bloom boosters pretty much worthless. Have any of you experimented with one shot doses around the midpoint of the flowering cycle? I guess if you have enough bone/ kelp meal in the soil this is overkill, but I have a can of Beastie Bloomz lying around (actually this stuff is chemical/ organic, the macronutes are chemically derived but supposedly it has humics and leanardite also.) I'm thinking of tossing some in next time around.

If you don't have the space to bubble gallons of water, just grab a water dechlorinator at Petco or your local fish store. These are designed to keep fish, but more importantly nitrifying bacteria, alive in contact with tap water. At 10 drops a gallon a small $4 bottle should last months.

We welcome newb ?'s in this thread and forum, the thread title has the words "for beginners" in it so we are expecting some newbness

Powdered dolomite lime is IMHO essential and best used at a rate of 2 TBS per gallon of soil mix.
You don't ever have to heat anything in organics, the soil biology will break down the organic elementsinto plant useable form.
