What size containers are you using for those ladies Duggy? Just trying to brainstorm with you a little but when I started doing a lot of research on TLO/Supersoil/Total Nutrients it was very apparent that the larger the container size the easier the grow. I am guessing one had to do with the buffering ability, more soil=more buffer but the other is most assuredly the microbe life. The larger the container, the easier it is to keep the microbes alive. Less waterings, less feedings with teas, etc. I look at it kind of like my fish tanks as they both seem to apply equally. I see so many people buy smaller fish tanks because they think it will be easier to keep only one or two fish when it reality, it takes a very experienced person to keep fish alive in smaller tanks for extended periods of time. There is always something to tweak and if it isn't done almost immediately then the fish suffer.
Just my ramblings for the day but I do believe it much easier to grow in the larger containers, even if you have one gigantic container and plant several plants in the same container. Wishing you much success!
