not even remotely possible... sorry. Exactly what did she use her cooked in nutrients on... making green leaves?Shed got it I think.
She just used up her nutrients.
Thanks Em. I went from 2.5 gr. to 3.5 gr. of Re-Charge a couple feedings ago. I'm wondering if it would be OK to feed re-charge every time until she greens up some ? Or should I just up it to 5 gr. & feed every other watering ?Sorry Shed, but you are wrong in this case. Please try to stay in your lane. Supersoil grows are supposed to have just the bottom 1/3 filled with supersoil, while the rest is filled with any good base soil. This method is used all of the time because plenty of nutrition reaches the plants through their bottom feeder roots and there is no need to worry that the rest of the container is filled with non mineralized soil. That 1/3 of a container in at least a 3 gallon container should contain everything the plant needs for this entire grow. Power players on this forum need to be very careful with their their disparaging comments, because with your one note regarding the filling of that container you have now almost convinced Buds that his grow is not going to work. Great job there Mr. negative.
So Buds, don't give up on this plant and revert back to using nutes. I am sure that everything the plant needs is in there or why would anyone buy Sohum or any of the other supersoils. I will suggest however, upping your dosage of recharge to the "performance" dosage suggested in their documentation. You are not growing petunias, you are growing a flowering/fruiting plant that has heavy needs. Please stick to your guns and don't let these folks dissuade you from your goal. The Sohum and Recharge will work... your plant is just showing you that it needs a little more help.
Sorry wrong lane. HeHenot even remotely possible... sorry. Exactly what did she use her cooked in nutrients on... making green leaves?
You can't have too many microbes. I fed the performance dosage every time I watered.Thanks Em. I went from 2.5 gr. to 3.5 gr. of Re-Charge a couple feedings ago.

In an organic grow, the microbes feed the plants. There is very little free and available in the soil nutrient... the raw nutrient baked into the supersoil has to be first processed and then carried to the roots by the microbes and the fungi. More microbes from the Recharge means more food is able to be processed and fed to the plants.Sorry wrong lane. HeHe
Hi Em thanks for the help.
Hope your having a great day.
As you know soil isn't my Forte.
Please if you don't mind what is it about the recharge that will help her increase nutritional uptake?
I'm not 100 % sure what it is.
Stay safe
Bill
Thanks ! Didn't want to O.D. my plants on it... lol.You can't have too many microbes. I fed the performance dosage every time I watered.
it is simply freeze dried microbes... exactly the microbes needed in an organic grow.I'm not 100 % sure what it is.
I think the packaging says to feed recharge once a week, and that, at the proper dosage is probably all that is needed. I like to push limits however, and I remember pushing the recharge by giving the max dosage every time I watered. I got a great grow out of it, and as far as I could see, no damage was caused by doing so... I was probably just wasting my recharge.Thanks ! Didn't want to O.D. my plants on it... lol.

Yes, the pkg. says 2.5 gr. once a week or every other watering. It also says to Super Charge the growth up to 5 gr. every other feeding. I figure I'm a little behind since my plant is light green so I was thinking I'd feed 5 gr. the next couple of feedings & once she started to darken up go back to 5 gr. every other feeding. Sound OK ?I think the packaging says to feed recharge once a week, and that, at the proper dosage is probably all that is needed.

Sounds like a good proactive approach. I would probably do the same thing these days. Back then I just wasn't sure that this new product was going to be able to supply what was needed, so I tended to overuse the product. It didn't hurt my plants, but it was wasteful. These days I am not nearly as afraid of chlorine and its ability to reduce the microbe population. Over time, in a water only grow, don't give tap water... but if you are adding back microbes periodically with Recharge, even tap water works.Yes, the pkg. says 2.5 gr. once a week or every other watering.

Not seeing how I can be wrong since I didn't make any pronouncements, just observations:Sorry Shed, but you are wrong in this case.
And my mentioning that to Buds made him go back and check the bag:I know you keep referring to it as a Sohum plant, but your mix was just 1/3 water-only soil and 2/3 soil that most folks use synthetic nutes with from very early on
Here's the first bag instruction:The SoHum Bag & Website also say to use 1/3rd SoHum in the bottom & the rest another soil & use water only.
oops.... Re-read the bag. It says 2/3rds not 1/3rd.
Or is SoHum just trying to get you to use more of their product for profit?Supersoil grows are supposed to have just the bottom 1/3 filled with supersoil,
Not sure who put you in charge of what others here can post or why you need the disparaging comments.Please try to stay in your lane.
Your "observations" had enough weight that Buds was just about to give up his goal of seeing what a sohum grow was like. Yes, it does look like they advocate using more of their soil than is actually needed, because anyone who has worked with any of the supersoils knows that 1/3 in the bottom is the standard practice. They probably do that just so it is even harder to fail with one of their soilless grows and people continue to love their soil. Regarding disparaging comments, I asked you politely to stay in your own lane, just as you would do me if I started making "observations" about a promix grow. Please don't give out advice (sorry, observations) on things you have little or no experience in, and if you do anyway, don't be surprised if you end up being wrong and someone calls you out on it.Not seeing how I can be wrong since I didn't make any pronouncements, just observations:

It turns out that Buds didn't follow their instructions since SoHum doesn't agree with you here:

If Buds, having realized he didn't follow the manufacturer's instructions (thereby missing 33% of the soil they recommend), decides to make a change, he's certainly entitled to do that. I didn't tell him to do anything, and there may be any number of solutions, but if someone wants to try out SoHum soil to see if it works, at least follow the directions on the bag to make an accurate assessment. Buds set this thread up as a test...it's in the name.Your "observations" had enough weight that Buds was just about to give up his goal of seeing what a sohum grow was like.
except to me... I believe I was told one time to go back to my threads and stay off of yours. What goes around, comes around. You honestly expect me to tiptoe around you'alls feelings after the way you have treated me in the past? This is as friendly as I get. Quit giving bad advice (observations) and I will stop commenting... it's that simple.but I'm not rude or disparaging to any other members here.
It wasn't advice and it turned out to be a good observation in the end. You may have solutions to Bud's issues with that plant, but the fact that SoHum is designed to be 2/3 SoHum and 1/3 regular soil might play a part in the yellowing.Quit giving bad advice
I'd like to see that quote.I believe I was told one time to go back to my threads and stay off of yours.
