The clay is apparently very nutrient filled and retaining though.
That's why I use it.

Replace your oil absorber with NAPA oil absorber, you know it's better.

NAPA uses DE, mine uses a nutrient rich clay that has been shown to benefit plant growth.

If they're getting rain water they get most of the required nutes through that.
Mine however get tap or distilled while I'm at school or in the winter 
water has nutes in it? How is rain water any different then tap water aside from the lack of chlorine and chemicals.

so both are good i take it. i bought the bag with diatomaceos earth because of the fungus gnat problems and other insct problems i have.
but i will definitly be buying a bag of the clay absorber.

Infinate thanks cactusdan,
i recently rooted a 14" san pedro out this girl was just dying to root. As and ethnobotanical neophyte i was in a rush(for no real good reason other then excitement) to get get her potted. So my novice instinct told me to just grab some miracle-grow cactus soil. I did that and then with-in a week and a half i decided id give her roots a check so id better know when i could begin watering, she did her thing by then. after the first watering paranoia set in about root rot ect. i realized the soil was retaining far too much water so like i should have in the first place i searched the all knowing boards and ended up more confused. found your thread and want to thank you again this is my first ethno grow and have huge plans for the future
cheers

It is just silly to take any of my posts as truth, none of the above is true/it is true that the above is false
Your always on your way
No matter where you are
Your here,
So you must be on your way
So,
good luck!
