Optimal pH for Vermic/Peat/Casting mix?

started grow question 6y ago
Seeing as I am using 1/3 vermiculite 1/3 peat and 1/3 worm casting for these seedlings, should the optimal pH of the substrate be 6, 6.3, or 6.5?

I think your mix is not well done, so much vermiculite will ever overwater your plants, like u can see they are not full healty and not for ph problem. however 5.8 soiless is the right range

Are you using soil at all? If it is a soiless mix then 5.5 to 6 ph in veg and 6.0 to 6.5 in flower. Cheers

Should I wait for deficiencies to introduce more nutrients? I haven't given these plants any of the A.N. veg nutrients that I have for them. We are at week four today. Maybe there are deficiencies that someone could point out to me from my photos?

Possible overfeeding nutes?
Could someone possibly identify the issue on that one leaf? I had another like that a bit worse that where the edges started to curl. They were fan leaves so I ended up removing them as they were a bit worse off. Doing much better now, only guess is too much nutes.

I want to be sure. Yellowing leaves and red branches, that's a sulfur deficiency. And that's generally due to the pH of the water. But if that's the case? Why does it always show up at the end of the plant's life and not before? My water is taken from a rainwater tank.
