Thank you Lorraine:
I started to question the wisdom of going over the soils again when its been covered in depth. However I did notice what I call the eyeball glazing effect. You know when you start to read or listen to someone about a subject and the info goes way over your head and I start to feel intimidated by how they are coming across., your eyes start to roll back into the head and eyes glaze over and BOOM your lost.
He is completely correct in everything he is talking about. One thing he lightly covered is the reasons why we should be adding hydrogen peroxide in the water that we use to water your containerized plants. Now I am picturing that your back yard is like mine. I have a ton of containerized plants NOTE the picture. How do we get a solution of h2o2 added to our water we use to water our babies. Answer we use a fertilizer injector.
An injector will take a solution of addatives and mix it in with the water coming out of our hoses supplying. Now you are asking yourself ... Is he off his rocker??? welllll yes but not on this. Its a product called a syphonjett injector. it runs 20.00 each

I will cover proper mixes for use on our containers. and how to decide what ratio is best for your application. This will get very crop specific but I will try to narrow down the choices so that its not a confusing mass of information.
Ok now back on point propagation and fertilizers/chemicals. Hydrogen peroxide does a lot of good for plants. when it is introduced to the propagation medium the spare oxygen molecule will either attach itself to another oxygen molecule forming O2 or attach itself to the most redial available organic compound (i.e. diseases molecules). Hydrogen peroxide also neutralizes the chlorine in most tap water. Personally I plan to use the following as a pre drench on all my propagation flats.

2 teaspoons of 3% hydrogen peroxide
3 oz. schultz starter plus root stimulator
2 teaspoons of "jump start"
into 1 gallon of water

the roots of a plant require oxygen to grow and remain healthy. I feel this mixture will do the most to help the success ratio of propagation.
I also plan to use the same mix in my aeroponics system(which will be the next subject in this thread.
I will be researching where to find a more cost efficent source for all the chemicals and the injector. I know you are saying why do I want to add another confusing piece of equipment that I don't think I really need. By using and injector you will be able to push your plant into being bigger, healthier increase the bloom size and count.

I apoligize in advance for any confusion caused by me. I am sure there have to be a few questions so please ask. I hope this helps
