 Does 3 1 3 manure fry your roots if used for the majority of the potting soil?

It would still probably fry your roots.
I got lucky for the most part, thanks for the tips about flushing too,
fried roots = the small leaves near the bottom turn yellow and curl?
i think they did fry  trial and error i guess right?

I think the best would be if you could compost that shit for a while. Or a little as a top dressing sounds good, not sure how much to put on though...
Isn't manure already compost? I'll google it.....

haah yeahhh i knew that about manure, I just associated it with compost (shrug)
now that it's been sitting there for awhile has it composted?
If you were to take rock wool cube clones then transfer them to a container, but didn't have enough money to purchase high grade fertilizers what kind of mixture would you do?
3/4 Foxfarms potting soil
1/16 Bonemeal
1/16 Composted manure
1/8 Manure topping?
putting the soil in first then topping it with all the other shit?
