Clones are looking good! Just popping by to check what's going on. I haven't been active for a few days, but I have a new article coming on flushing :)

Hey what’s up! I’m been doing a little break too. Can’t wait to read that post. I went to garden shop yesterday and kinda got overwhelmd on making a decision for the living soil method. But did get a ph test kit and looks like my cal mag solution is around a damn 5!
You probably don’t have to ph with living soil either huh?
Hey didn’t want to blow up your feed in your post, but just want to say thanks for being here on steem. Sometimes I’m like man steem is starting to suck but with your support and others on here it’s why i love steem! I know I’m becoming a better grower or at least becoming more conscious on what I’m doing. Right now I’m just kinda scared of switching things up due to my success. But i know I’m not doing everything right and need to correct it. Maybe when you start posting your grow i can mimic it. Just make sure you do it very detailed enough that dummys can understand it . Lol
Hey can you check out this old post and give me your diagnosis of what may be the problem with this plant. Same thing is happening now!

If it looks exactly the same it's a total lockout via overfertilisation: nitrogen, sulphur, potassium and magnesium. But you have to look at it from a wider perspective. If you use soil, which doesn't even have NPK on the label, it's very hard to fertilise effectively and you'll always run into problems. I actually see burns, toxicity and lockouts all the time with Fox Farm products users. They're just too damn heavy!
I just told my girl to put my fox farm soil for sell. I’m over it! Going back to garden shop Friday to get something else. Wonder if i should get a different cal mag supplement instead of using boticare?
Ok man, so here I can actually come up with a shopping list for ya as I know it by heart :D So you buy a bag of this goodie. You need to scale it obviously for the amount you'll use. Then you get a bag of EWC like that one here. And then a bag of this powdered or crushed mineral, that every gardening centre should have in stock. That'll practically set you up as far as basic high brix mix is concerned and it's 99% organic :)
Sweet thank you! I got all ingredients on windows in my phone on amazon so I’ll be ordering soon. Does I️t really matter what brand of dolomite? And does it need to be 50lbs?
Not really, get as much as you need, just make sure it's not treated chemically. Get a powdered one if you can, cause otherwise you're gonna have to do it with an industrial grinder :)
so if i do this mix will i be doing teas? every once in while?
Yeah basically, but you can fertilise as well if you want, cause NPK of this mix is so low, that everything will have effect. The main point is, that you don't get toxic saturation of nutrients or salts, so you can use stuff liberally. However, you should only do it in transition periods.
One thing that I forgot to mention is that you're gonna have to still raise calcium content by 5 parts after you add dolomite lime, cause it's 40% of Mg on average. You can do it by adding calcium carbonate via oyster shell flour, powdered egg shells or crustacean meal.
