Oops - Stinky Coco Mix - Need help

[elamigoverde]

I mixed my own organic soil and I thinkI went way crazy on the blood meal and bat guano.

8 parts CoCo
2 parts worm castings
1 part guano
1 part blood meal
1 part rice hulls
1 part perlite
1part vermiculite

a few tbsps azomite

sprinkled in some Mychorr


Its 3 days later and smelling like musty towels. Stinking up my bedroom. I didnt "cook it" first. I mixed it, trasnplanted and watered.

I forgot to add dolomite to the mix so I have since top dressed with a little of it. Maybe that'll help.

Should I be worried or should I just allow it to dry out a bit and hope that the bacterial colonies form and get the smell under control?


please help,

Super Noob out

Anyone? Gotta be some info out there about this.

Thanks in advance

She (hopefully) looks pretty healthy. Its been almost a week since the transplant.

I don't really see anything you can do about it except to take it back out of the soil if it seems to be burning it. You might just have a grow that smells like moldy towels the whole time.

Thanks for the reply. I moved it outside to flush the soil with RO and the runoof came out black at first and then a deep dark red. All the blood meal, I'm sure.

Plant looks great still though. No burning and she has really healthy looking leaves. Its been over a week now. Fingers crossed

Looks really healthy!

Hopefully all that water didn't dissolve all your nutrients. I bet its fine though.

Thanks!

I'm thinking it shouldn't have dissolved all the nutrients. I only ran about a gallon through it with a sprayer to distribute the water evenly. That is what all the local shops here in San Diego reccomended doing.

I put like 8 cups EWC, 4 cups of bloodmeal, and half pound of nitrogen guano to start with. I also water with half aquarium water/ half RO and use earthworm casting tea once a week

hoping that is plenty of nutes
