Cooked Compost + EWC, Guano, FFOF, etc. No additional cook time?

Hey all,

I've been growing indoors for a while now, and outdoor for 3 seasons. However I skipped my last two seasons and fear I may have made a mistake.

I took the following ingredients and plugged my plants directly into them. I'm afraid the mix might heat up, what do you think?

1.5 cu ft Gardner Bloome Soil Builder Compost :Humus, redwood, worm castings, bat guano, gypsum, kelp meal, oyster shell, dolomite lime and mycorrhizae.

1.5 cu ft FFOF

12 Quart (small bag) Happy Frog

6 Quart Hygromite (silica grow rock)

+/- 2 lbs EWC (1-2 years old)

+/- 3/5 lb Jamaican Bat Guano (1-2 years old)

3.5 cu ft bale Sunshine Mix #4

1.5 cu ft Coco Pete


I figured that the compost would already be cooked, and using small amounts of the old EWC and guano wouldn't make a big deal. But after sitting here and getting very very high off of hash I started getting paranoid.

This mix was made 3 days ago and plants were plugged in at around noon. It's definitely not too late to pull them out, but I'm not sure that this mix will get hot.

advice?

The only thing that could be really hot would be the amount of Quano you used but it breaks down slowly. The ffof is a little hot to start with but you didn't use a lot. I think you would be ok. I would be concerned if you added in a bunch of Blood and bone meals.

They are fairly heavy feeders, all great genetics. All my clones went from 4" cups of FFOF into 2 gal 7" pots of this new mix, and I had 3 very very very well rooted beasts in 2 gal 7" pots that I put into 7 gal 18" pots. I think they'll all be fine, if they get a little blue and curly, that's fine by me, I need them to slow the fuck down anyways. These things are growing like I've been putting crack in the water.

Anyways, I feel a lot easier about transplanting the rest when they dry out. I'm glad nobody has flipped out on me yet saying that I'm going to burn my plants up.
