Well, clones have been cut, soil is cooking. Time will tell. Thanks for insight. I'll let you know how it goes, after transplant.
Keep us posted and if you have any problems just drop in. We are here to help.

Kelp meal is not soluble right?
Way too much lime in the LC mixes...
Peaceful Vally was just off the top of my head. Where are you located? Some one might know of a closer location for you.
For watering K-Mag.....1 TSP per gallon is enough.....every other watering. If it is also present in the soil I would not water in until you see what happens.
If you use to water in grind it with an old coffee grinder first.
Remember....Less is Better.
I have not ordered seeds from them. Sorry.
Good job on the supplies.

I want to join. I have a cab full of light sabers. stabbing my organic canopy
Scratching the soil
Take an old fork or spoon from your wife\girlfriend and bend it at a 90 degree angle. And scratch the surface of the soil. About 2 inches deep. I spray it a little first with water. Doing this will prevent the water from running through the container so fast. And keeping the surface of the soil wet helps keep the micro biology active.
How much water.......I use about 250 ml....a coffee can works good for me.
And I never let the soil dry out.

can you use calmag+ for organic growing?
I reda theres a chelating chem, EDTA that kills all the bene's in the soil.
looked on my bottle of calmag+ and there it is.
would I be better off using the sul-po-mag listed above?
is this what to follow when usin lc's mix and recipe #1?...if not,what can i use in flower?......i mixed compost and manure, bone,blood,and kelp meal with peat,and dolomite lime..let it cook for 60 days...question is,how should i use kelp and or alfalfa meal in teas?..so far i've only used molasses and compost &manure tea at each watering.....thanks for yer time...Some of my tea recipes.....
Seedlings
4 gallons of tepid water
2 or 3 handfuls of EWC or fresh compost or both
1 TBS Fulvic acid per gallon
1 TSP per gallon of Molasses
Brew for 24 hours @ 70 degrees
water in.
Remember to scratch the soil and make it moist before watering with the compost tea.
Vegetative Stage ( 3 to 5 weeks
Compost Tea (Using a amended soil) used once per week
4 gallons Tepid water
2 handfuls EWC or fresh compost
1 TBS Fulvic or Humic acid per gallon
1 TBS Fish emulsions of Hydroslate per gallon
1 TSP per gallon of water
Nutrient Tea for veg rotate with the above tea
2 TBS N guano or Alfalfa ( I rotate these one on and one off)
1 TBS P guano
1 handful EWC
1 TBS Fulvic acid or Humic acid per gallon
1 TSP Molasses per gallon of water.
Brew for 24 hours @ 70 degrees and water in.
Remember to scratch the soil and make it moist before watering with the Compost tea or Nutrient tea.
Take the third watering off and water with just Molasses and water.
Early flower stage
Here I will top dress for an extra boost of N. I top dress with 1 or 2 TBS N guano.
I use the seedling tea for the first watering. I want to increase the bio activity at this time. The plants expend a great amount of energy during the stretch.
Then I use a reverse version of the Veg tea
1 TBS N guano or Alfalfa ( I rotate these one on and one off)
2 TBS P guano
1 handful EWC
1 TBS Fulvic acid or Humic acid per gallon
1 TSP Molasses per gallon of water.
1 TSP K.Mag or Sul-Po-Mag per 2 gallons of water.
Remember to scratch the soil and make it moist before watering with the Compost tea or Nutrient tea.
Then in the last four weeks I start backing off on the teas both Nutrient and Compost.
The final 2 to 3 weeks I use just Molasses and water for watering. With the last 2 waterings with plain water. At this time you are most likely watering twice a week.
This is just how I do it by standard........it does vary depending on plants and nutrient needs.

anyone have an idea where to get powdered cal/mag??

I seldom need to address a Mg problem anymore with a soil drench since V suggested I use sul=po=mag (K-mag) in my soil mix as I prepare my soil. And I really don't like adding pure salts to my soil (epsom salts) so this is what i do.
Does your new growth darken up within a day or two? I've got a couple strains that grow so fast their new growth always looks deficient. Couple days later it's green as can be. Those plants (Diesel) can grow 5-6" in a day!
