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

Magnesium Deficiency ? How can I fix it ?got a little deficiency (maybe burned? but I think not).
I'm pretty sure it's magnesium's deficiency, it happens after a flushing. I added 2 times the last 2 weeks a little bit of CalMag (BioBizz, but ive bought it 2 years ago, maybe it doesn't work well idk).

What is causing PK deficiency signs on mid leaves? Too little Calcium causing lockout??Hey everyone, in mid and late flowering with my autos, all experiencing similar problems and I’m inclined to believe it could be due to a lack of Calcium? Could a Ca deficient plant cause these symptoms which resemble a PK deficiency?? I’m 100% adding enough bloomWeek 11

Purp stalks, weak leaves.Hey guys i noticed that my stalks were all turning purple and my leaves are curling. Is this a nute lock out ? Or is it light burn ? I started them under a pretty powerful Led but still getting new growth through the last 2 days. They look thirsty but medium is still soaked.
