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

Not sure about deficiency, thought was Calcium or Magnesium but not sure anymore.The nutrient deficiency is back so I gave it another double dose of CalMag to see if that can stop it in its tracks but I am not positive if that is the specific problem. Added micronutrients mix as well to see if maybe that helps. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Unknown rust on 7th flowering weekThis started as what I thought was a cal/mag deficiency, bought some, gave it for a week at a good dose and 6.3ph, and this intensified and switched from just lower leaves to the upper and a few sugar leaves on one plant. Any ideas? May calmag takes awhile? Or wrong diagnosis?

Yellowing a bit too soonDuring the second week, leaves started to look a little bit yellow. The first true leaves yellowed way too soon. I'm guessing lack of nutrients. It never showed signs of drought or overwater stress. Your thoughts?

Please help identify the cause, interveinal chlorosis since 2 weeks old, no necrosis so far. These two plants are 26 days old. Do they look stunned?Is this magnesium def since it's going from the bottom? Is it possible the first signs started to show when they were just 2 weeks old? Or is this iron? Or is it smth else? Calmag given two days ago. Pistils show already. I water with ph6.2 but no runoff yet to know the soil ph.
