    Cannabis never seems to do well when there's wood chips in the soil, I'm not sure what it is about them!

    I took a look at the Yates Potting Mix with Dynamic Lifter to see what the "organic slow release" fertilizer is. I got on chat on the website and they told me that the slow release ingredients are composed of: composted chicken manure, blood and bone, fish meal and seaweed. That actually seems like a lot of really great stuff for cannabis! In fact, I'd say it's got enough amendments that you may not need to fertilize for weeks. I'd definitely gently re-pot to that soil if you can, without disturbing the roots if possible My only worry is it might be a little "hot" with nutrients, so you might possibly see some nutrient burn at first on your seedling but it should grow out of it once it starts getting bigger

    Wow man thanks so much! That puts me at ease a little. I haven't added any nutes or any sort of additive to the soil yet which is good. They are currently potted in the Yates, are you suggesting re potting them in new Yates just sift out the wood chips? I don't think I ever said but they are all Auto seeds if that makes any difference. Again thanks for the help

      Wait, I'm a little confused The plants are in Yates Potting Mix with Dynamic Lifter right now, and it has wood chips in it? From the chat specialist and all the pictures and videos of that soil, it shouldn't have wood chips in it. Or did you mean that it is your new soil?

      Yes to the first question. 100% sure its in Yates Potting Mix with Dynamic Lifter right now. I have no idea why there'd be wood chips if there isn't supposed to be any... could i still get away with sifting out the wood chips and re potting them?

        If bark is 60% of the composition I don't think sifting is going to be enough. Hmmm, I wonder if they accidentally packaged it with the wrong formulation? It's so strange I even went and confirmed with them on chat that it shouldn't have bark! Could you go to the store where you got this and ask them if they have a version of this soil without bark? I'm sorry you're having so much trouble I wish it was easier/cheaper to ship from the USA!

      Lower or higher?
      Dioxygen(O2) oxidize water according to this equation
      O2 + 2 H2O + 4 e- -> 4OH-

      So basically existence of dioxygen in the water should raise the pH because it produces Hydroxide ion and reduce the Power of Hydrogen ion.

      Am i wrong?

        It's reaction to co2, not oxygen that causes the ph to drop slightly. Carbonic acid begins to form due to co2 dissolving in the water as soon as the water is exposed to air.
