Well I thought I would try my hands at promix. I have a buddy that uses it and doesn't do so well so I thought I would give it a shot and see what his problem is.

So these were in the cloner for like 5 weeks. Definitely shouldn't have been left that long but it is what it is. Went transplanting I put some mycos in the hole and then stuffed the roots in there. Mixed up a mild nutrient solution and phed it to 6.5. Used a quart of water for each 3 gallon pot. I had no runoff. Part of the promix is not even wet.

Three days later and they are developing calcium spots. So I raised the lights and put a fan on them.

Four days after transplant the spotting is getting worse. Doesn't really look like they're drinking anything.

I'm thinking that once they dry out a little I'll water again with the same nutes abbreviation get some runoff. Then I'll check ph on that. Hopefully it'll tell me something usable. Any pointers would be appreciated.
I’d say you’ve got some deficiencies happening, since there is almost no food in the promix.

Go full strength and give each pot another three quarts. That should get you to runoff.

Good advice. They need nutes if just in pro-mix. For 3 gal pots, you want closer to 3quarts - 1 gallon of water + feed. Water/feed until runs off. Promix has excellent, if not the best, porosity so it'll be hard to over water.
