there was a very small amount of BBs in the soil and they were very easy to spot.
i dumped the soil on a plate and searched through it picked the very few there was out then used the soil
also got all the thick sticks out heard it can be a problem for drainage.
all the leaves are now looking healthy (beside those two spots) there's little hairs all over it and still getting healthy new growth at a rapid pace.
its forming more leaves then it can handle it seems like only one strong node and a cluster of leaves and more leafs underneath leaves.

sounds like it is correcting itself. So now just follow a feeding regiment for both cycles and you should be good...

then adding 50% perlite. this is when they go into large containers (after seeing if male or female)

I like the first one for seeds... the second one... I would have more of a soil expert rate that one... or do a search online with cannabis and that soil and see if anyone else has used it. I am using roots organic when I start growing feminized seeds though and fox farm nutrients.

after giving them all fruit compost mixed with distilled water they seem to love it.
it lowers my ph to 6.5 which isn't bad from what ive read
ill get [h=2]Plantation® Seed Starter Mix [/h](A high quality mix of sphagnum peat moss, grower's grade vermiculite, horticultural grade perlite, starter fertilizer, wetting agent and lime for ph balance)
with added perlite see what results i get
i also have FloraDuo nutes right now just using organic nutes again they are loving it

When I was first starting out I bought granular organic nutes, I would soak the amount the package suggested for about 20 minutes in water and vigorously shake it until the water was a bit murky. Then I would inoculate a mix similar to the one that you have listed with it. Epsoma and a slew of other companies have them, usually a good mix of guanos, blood and bone meals, kelp meal, etc. There will usually be a list of all the benificials on there too.

I used to do 6-5-4 for veg, with about a cup of wood/cannabis char added, and then I would combine this in a big 30 gallon tote and mix other week and water once a week for at least 4 weeks. For flowering I bought a 4-5-6 rose fertilizer and combined it with bonemeal, doing the same as the veg soil letting it cook for a few weeks. Flowering soil for 20% starting from the bottom, with the next 65% filled with veg soil slowly blended in as I went up. I would leave space at the top to add anything I needed as the grow progressed. I went straight from clones to finishing containers vegging about 3 weeks 3 days, and then flipping to 12-12.

Keep it up, growing is all about learning!
