    On the ph up and down....hopefully Biobizz ph up and down will land in ZA soon

    My PH from the tap is 8.8 😲 So I normally get water for the girls from Newlands spring which they love.

    When I don't get time to or run out of spring water. I PH down the tap water with fulvates which works great. I have also used a few drops of bokashi tea as a PH down with success. Both being organic. I am just not sure if its a good long term solution using either daily. But in a pinch works 100% for once or twice a week.

  2. Unfortunately I couldn't find the bag to test the run off. The the gardener or I may have used it or thrown it away, wasn't much in it.

    I am considering a weak iron chelate foliar feed on the weekend. I will check her progress until then, before I do.

    Organilux (pre-potting to FF):

    5 days after transplanting to FF. Looking a lot better, still some issues on tips of new growth but i expected such with rootball still being mostly in Organilux.

    I believe we are suffering from Iron deficiency due to high pH of the organolux soil

    I have most of my plants in his soil and they grow perfectly well. Without fertilizer. He's doing tests on his soil regularly and publicises these tests on his website contrary to most other soil producers. I hope the ones that claim it's a ph issue have actually tested it instead of guessing. I'd contact Jamie directly.

    I have repotted but still have some left in the bag, will do a runoff test later today. I will post here after contacting Jamie directly with the findings.

    It would be great if the bags where marked with batch numbers to track this down. It's rare but not impossible that a bad batch comes through every once in a while, this is organic after all. 

    My plan now is to take take clones from the outdoors which are a lot healthier. I don't want to loose this strain of cheese as the guy who gave it to me immigrated earlier this year.

    If you’ve  1 hundred percent singled down to the soil, then I would like to see the pics.

    Am totally not sure. Have always used Freedom Farms with Biobizz for tent grows and some outdoor directly in soil outside with great success. This is my first run using super soil's, could be me. Although I cannot see how.

    Check with Jamie himself, I can send you his nr?

    I may just DM you for that am hoping to get opinions from others here before I go to that trouble, so far I am the only one that seems to be having this issue. 

    So here's the horror show.

    I use tap water I let settle for 24 hours before then add a small amendment of Vermipure tea, liquid kelp and on occasion some molasses come watering time.

  5. Will post some pictures when I can today. Honestly too embarrassed to do so. They look really bad, hoped they would recover themselves.

    These two were the healthy and most vigorous of the seedlings. I planted the other two “runts” outdoor and they are doing great.

    Mmm haven't seen anyone complain about that soil before. 

    But it could be too hot as you say... 

    I was at the local hydro shop yesterday, I asked if anybody has had issues with the soil. Two separate guys in the queue heard me and said the soil is great and they have never had any issues.

    Maybe check the run off and see if you can see anything strange. 

    PH? Thought that wouldn’t be an issue but will give it a go in any event. Never considered that before I repotted.😲

  6. Anybody else experienced Orgasoilux being too hot? Transplanted two of my girls into Orgasoilux when they where around 20cm and am having what appears be to nutrient lock out. Leaves are yellowed with burnt tips, major stunted growth.

    Been adding some Vermi pure worm tea and a dash of liquid kelp when watering.

    Repotted into trusty Freedom Farms now. Hoping they will recover and not be too stunted.

    Did I get a bad batch, common issue or am I missing something.

  7. Hi All,

    First post here and not the best way to start.😕

    Took a picture of the awesome symmetry of this outdoor UK cheese.

    Next day I cam back to this. This is in my back yard, no access for critters other than cats. My dogs have never eaten my plants and have been doing in and out door for years. My animals have had ample opportunity to do something like this if it was them.

    Have recently moved to Cape Town and am close to the mountain so am wondering if any other critter could have done this. Idea's, guesses? I am worried about my other two outdoor girls.
