Optimal pH for Vermic/Peat/Casting mix?
Overgrothostarted 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

Advice on next feed.So just before I water tonight I want to ask what some more experienced growers would do instead.
I'm getting near the finish and honestly just want to make it there without losing too much bud production.
I think my next water tonight will just be 1ml of bloom/l, inputs?
