Hey Gardeners
Just dropping my
....I use Earth Juice Grow, Bloom, Meta K, microblast and add my own Bio-Genesis Synergy (molasses when needed)
My medium is built with an interesting mixture that's found in my signature.
I haven't run into any problems with using dolomite lime, pH swings that cause lockouts and deficiences or toxicity.
However what I have found over a period of time is that the coco coir requires more watering within my growing environment. So what I do instead of skipping feedings is lower the Earth Juice feedings strength and feed more often with the waterings at the desired pH.
I firmly believe that feeding this way and the use of dolomite lime keeps my soil's pH in order, along with allowing my water to age a couple days before use, plus pH it to the proper reading also.
I refuse to buy RO water or an RO filter....but that's my choice.
...excuse my rambling, but I just felt like I needed to toss that in.
Cool thread with a lot of helpful insight

Omega Rasta Wow Jiggy you got me in a tough spot here.I know if I go and try to call em on it this time it could be curtains for my shopping there.But man this is like the tenth bottle ALL have been different companies different things>I know for a fact the only nutes they sell in quantity and restock regularly are Fox Farm and Botanicare.Problem is where I live I think they get away with selling alotta this stuff aftwer its gone bad cus peolple literally have no clue.Hell they themselves are clueless they didnt even know that when a bottles sides are collapsed that the nutes are locked up and its bad.They have entire lines stocked that way.They said well they came that way and I said well send them ALL back.I shoulda opened it right in the store after I bought it.Done it right in front of em,cus that was half the trouble last time is they were trying to say I used some of it.I was like this stuff makes my eyes water uhh organics gone anaerobic duhh?As if Id ever dump that in my res ,I dont even think she knew what anaerobic meant.Pretty sad when the customer knows more about the products than the people selling em.
Well Im at a loss.Its only like 22 bux but I cant just let em slide twice they already stuck me on a bottle of grow.I was told last time I shoulda called within a week of the purchase so I guess the first step is calling.And then I gotta drive all the way there again within 30 days or I cant do it.Like I said to them I guess when I shop there I gotta buy the brands that sell cus if not the nutes are gonna be so old they are locked up,settled and gone anaerobic.Thank you very much though for letting me know what they smelled like.If thats the case they are both bad and Ive gotta do this again.Hopefully if I play it all shiny happy I can get my money back and not lose the hook-up.Thanxx Jiggy!!Peace Gromerr Pott!!!
