You can buy a simple soil tester online for under £20, it might remind you of being in science class at school but gives you a rough estimate of the ph and n, p, k values. But to me that sounds like a good soil mix. If you're worried maybe start the seed in a different soil or rock wool or starter pod? 🌱👍

So far doesnt seem like it was too strong for him^^ Thank you all for your opinions on the subject! I'll be choosing the answer once the seedling tells me who won xP

Yes, rather strong for seedlings, with too much guano, for my preferences.
Mix it 50/50 or even one third/two thirds with "seed raising mix" and that would be kinder for your seedlings.
Baby seedlings need baby feeding and 14/16/18 is too "hot" for baby plants, look for something softer and with single digit N/P/K values.

Im going to guess the soil is definitely to "hot". Seedlings do not require much of anything for a week or two if growing in soil.

Optimal pH for solution, when growing in 70% Promix BX, 30% perlite.I'm having trouble finding reliable info regarding what to pH my nute solution to, I read that some like to look at it as hydro (technically soilless), and others view it as soil (due to being preloaded). So 5.5 - 6 or 6 - 6.5? HELP have done full grow using 5.5-6, peep the grow.Week 1

The possibility of using runoff, oxygenated, tested, adjusted to hydro levels and reused? Will it work or have I wasted money again?I'm using my own mix of soil composed of approx. 30% advanced organics potting soil, 30% peat, 15% coco, 15% perolite, 10% .5x.5x.5 compost. I am using a drain table and 2- 40 gallon fabric pots, capturing all my runnoff into a large tote that is being oxygenated, will this work?Setup. Substrates

Planting directly into soil with full of other roots? (Outdoor Guerilla Autoflower)The site is full of brambles with dense rootzones. I have dug a hole but its full of roots. Is it OK if I cut down every single root from my hole? Could my plant catch bacteria and etc from the brambles roots? Won't the brambles roots suck away all my nutrient from my plant?
