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

Yellow leavesmy little GG2 is starting to lose many leaves (they turn yellow and fall even before drying) while the other is not having any problems (the only difference between the two is the "aggressiveness" used in the LST)
it could be due to the flushing done (but less than 5 days ago) 🤔

Hey, anyone got any idea or clue what's going on?I thought it was a manganese or iron deficiency from an early watering with high pH.
Though I've fed/watered my other 2 plants pretty much the same stuff but she seems to be reacting really poorly.
She seems to be getting better slowly.. I think.
Thanks for taking the time. :)

Deficiency?? Excess? Neither?Grown this strain before and had the same issue.. not sure if its a CalMag deficiency entirely. pH has remained at 6.0-6.5 or so in soil and didnt show signs until recently, seemed to have worsened after just two days of only CalMag and Ro water so I bumped up the bloom nutes.
