Hello there LisaSativa, You could mix your own and premix it a few weeks in advance. I would recommend that you buy organic soil from a highly reputable dealer. Good luck with your project, I wish you all the best! 👽

DWC air pump
Anyone with previous experience, what's the minimum/optimum size pump for my air bubbler? I have a cheapo single line pump, I'm assuming it's enough but not optimum. Can anyone put a number on it in cfm? Is more always better? At what point do you reach diminishing returns?

Hey everyone, What should be the next course of action as moss has grown on the plants in the past two days (and it seems likely that the pH level is excessively acidic - source the internet)? https://growdiaries.com/diaries/169293-grow-journal-by-grizzlytwitterdruid

PhUp P.Hydro vs. P.Carb vs. Both
Potassium Hydroxide Vs. Potassium Carbonate : or Both for PH+ up. Does one have lower EC value in solution when used? Does ones have better stability in solution for hydro or soil? Does one have more reactivity with other elements in the grow? Does one have higher PH? Cheers,

Maintaining the soil pH
I give pH'ed water, never more than 800ppm and I still always end up with lockouts. I used to not give water untill runoff but now I do. What to do after testing the runoff? It's currently at 6.0 even after a flush with 7.2. Ask many questions I need to know what I'm doing wrong.
