Optimal pH for Vermic/Peat/Casting mix?
Overgrotho
started 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

Hi Legend, Not sure about it. Magnesium, Calcium, Ph. Maybe uptake or loss. She is growing well, big healthy. Ready for a second round of clones. After, I will let her sign in a bigger airy pot. Thank you for any suggestions 🙏

Deficiency or screw up?
What is this? At first I thought it was a phosphorus deficiency so I flushed with extra bloom nutes & overnight the damage doubled. Is it a pest or did I just fuck up bad? She also has seemed to have stopped growing. No noticeable diff in size recently

At the beginning of week 3 of flowering, the leaves are orange, we stopped fertilizing and the problem continues. It's a 10-liter pot, watered with a liter every 3 days, it's a Critical+ auto from Dinafem. I want to solve it but I don't know how, we're in week 4.

Does the paleness concern you?
Plant #1 seems a bit more on the pale green/yellowing side of the spectrum. Especially compared to plant #2. I have been feeding this week on a gradually increasing schedule. Not enough characters to go into it here.

Discoloration on leaves. Why?
I was looking at a closeup view of an overhead pic I took yesterday and noticed some slight tan/bron color along the sides of the 2 bigger leaves. I'm wondering why. Nutrient burn? Sulphur deficiency? Something else? Any thoughts?
