The product says Zeolite (Clinoptilolite) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinoptilolite is this good?

I have access to dusted and particulate bentonite and zeolite. Which should I buy and how much for 16 cfeet for the "clay" input to the soil?

@Northwood I have read Kratos' posts and see that you have posted in them. 1) What do you think about his 40/40/20 instead of 1/1/1 2) On compaction, you mentioned how bacteria bring together organic matter and clay to make aggregates. What are these clays, what specific product can I buy at...

Thank you very much, that was very informative. One thing I still have in my mind though, is as far as I have read, the amount of bacteria in 1:1 and 1:50 bacterial to fungal ratio is roughly the same and that the reason fungi ratio increases is only because the fungi keep growing. Considering...

I was doing some reading and was curious about something. Many sources claim that nitrate is the preferred form of nitragen for cannabis. But some sources show that proper fungal dominant soils can even outcompete the 1:1 soils. They claim that the reason that info is everywhere is that elaina...

Sorry now that I read your post again, you sound pretty sure so I did not have to ask twice. Glad they were not harmful phew

So if I understand correctly, since I do not see any munching on the plant, we can safely assume that these are non harmful mites . I assume it is very unlikely that these coule be harmful, yet just not have moved on to the plant because there are easy to access pellets and stuff on the soil...

Do I buy ladybug larvae, or should I sprinkle some of that neem meal I had bought before yet havent used since you let me know that it will harm insects in soil and would not be beneficial since it contains the neem chemicals that the ones used as amendments usually don't? @Northwood

I think I have aphids in one of my pots. The other pots dont have them and they do not seem to be on the plant but shittons of them are roaming on the soil surface, munching on stuff, mostly the remains of the alfalfa pellets. Other than the occasional little flying things I see in the tent...

Well when I water slowly, the water does not come out from the sides. Only when I water fast, the water does not penetrate the surface of pot fast enough. How can I tell if I have "drainage issues"? Is it deduced by for example, lets say I am kind of experienced, therefore know the amount of...

I believe I have adequate perlite, heck on top of it even some coco in there. What could have caused drainage issues if that turns out to be a part of this problem?

@Northwood I have decided that I will not reuse the soil in my current pots when I switch that tent to a bed, which I am using in my new tent. While the buds of the Green Cracks which do not have leaf issues are getting thick, the buds on the taller plants (Gelatos) which have the purpling...

I do not have distilled water right now, I am guessing I cannot take bottled water, ph it to 7 and use that?

10 gallon pots. We have already talked about drainage and that at this point of grow not much I can do. I cannot really tell if I am underwatering, overwatering or anything to be honest. I am totally lost. Do I measure soil ph by taking some soil from the pot, mixing with water and measure with...

I have already spread some chicken manure compost over the pots and watered it in. The yellow/ purpling of the leaves persist so even if this product turned out not ideal, I have to address the issue yet I am completely lost on what to do.

Total N %1 Total P2O5 %2 Water soluble K2O %2 it says.

I might have done an oopsie again haha. I ordered "chicken manure fertilizer" and it came not in pellet but a dust/compost texture. It says it is chicken manure "aerobically fermented" which I guess they are trying to said composted for 2 years. For fast fiz of phosphorus did I need a non...

Is there a reason you specifically go for pellets in alfalfa chicken manure etc. instead of powders meals and such? Also, if I do have drainage and aeration issues, what would I do to fix or at least help the situation?

By the way, I really do appreciate you spending your time answering my amateurish questions, you really do help a lot, thank you.

I will check it asap, and if it is not anaerobic conditions, I will apply the manure. I have never really seen a chicken manure pellet nor did a top dress other than the one I mentioned. What so I do with the pellets? Do I crush or grind them? Do I just throw it over the straw and pour water?
