Optimal pH for Vermic/Peat/Casting mix?
Overgrothostarted grow question 5y 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

Throughout the whole grow i've had brown spots as you can see in the older pictures, although adding calmag didn't really fix the issue.
