    Hey, I've made a big mistake, I should have listened. Please HELP! I've used Shultz Potting Soil Plus, it has slow release nutes with strength of .08-.12-.08. My plants have grown SUPER slow, so I'm thinking its got nute lock-up. I don't think it will be very easy for me to buy more soil, is their a way I can try to fix this?

    Possibly flush? If so how much and how often? Please help and I thank you in advance!

    Oh rutger rutger rutger. We keep giving you good advice and you keep ignoring it.


    Your main problem is trying to grow in your parents attic.


    It can be done by an experienced grower, but not a beginner.


    I feel like I'm butting my head against a wall, but I'll try one more time.


    GROW OUTSIDE. Regardless of how much money you spent on a light, grow outside.


    If you persist in a lost cause, flush the soil with water 3 x the volume of the container.

    Thanks for the advice ranger, I do plan to grow outside, but i gotta fix my plants! Plus i want them to grow a little so they arent so small when i move them outdoors. Could you possibly give me more info, such as will this fix the soil release fert problem in the soil?

    Herb's right, best way to bring a hurting plant around is to give it a new home, w/new soil. Works for me.
