Pure Earth by Botanicare is Hurtin' me BADLY, what to do?

[thebandit777]

I recently bought a pallet of Organicare Pure Earth and it has breated all sorts of deficiencies on my girls, the PH comes out too high, and after adjusting it, it ends up back to 7.2-7.5... Not sure what to do? How to fix this....

Can I drastically lower the PH in one shot, I am running out of time and my plants are almost readyto flower and they all look like shit, My heart is breakin', can anyone help??????

Sounds like that soil is no good, never buy a whole pallet of a soil without having tried one bag first.

Mixing dolomite lime with the soil will help with the ph problem, but it's probably a bit late for that. Probably the best thing to do is take clones of the plants and root then then throw away the plants in this bad soil, cut your losses.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT YA SAYIN' 'BOUT NOT BUYING A PALLET OF SOIL B4 TESTING IT....

but I did try it and I liked it, abd once it was time to go into a bigger pot it was all over, and this pallet was baught at a different store... I don't know if the particular batch I bought was bad or if it just wasn't a problem untilll I was in the bigger pot????

I have a few in Black Gold and Happy frog (fox farm) and those look lovely, nice and green and vigorous, and they are all in the same room under the same conditions....

I am not sure what to do, and why is it too late to add the dolomite Lime at this point, wouldn't it be the same thing as treating your outdoor soil and yard with it if you had to?????

Not sure whyit would be too late....

Thaks again

Maybe you could cut it with peat. Just an idea.

What is Peat Moss known to be in PH? Acid or Alkailine ?

The plants are already in the 5 gallon bags, ya think it's still okay to beat the roots a little to get the roots into some different Soil?

Any other questions?

Peat is low, 4-5.5 range usually.

Shit i didn't realize you were about to go into flowering. I've had this problem before due to lime and ground water. I think you need to go to the infirmary and fill out all the info if you want a quality assessment.
