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

Continuing calmag deficiencyWhat I think is a calmag deficiency started about 10 days ago. At first I thought it was too low PH (6.0 - 6.1), so I corrected that, but no luck. Then I started adding biobizz calmag, still no luck. It seems that the deficiencies are picking up speed again. Any ideas appreciated

Deficiency ProblemsI don't know why they suddenly show so much deficiency.
Do I need to readjust the PH level or add more nutrients
Could it be because of the stronger lamp?
