Optimal pH for Vermic/Peat/Casting mix?
Overgrothostarted grow question 4 years 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?

you want right around 6.3 as this is the happy spot. hope this helps
MangoDuduanswered grow question 4 years ago
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

Leaf colorWhat you think about it? Is she getting too much? I’m not giving her too much in my opinion. Her stems are purple and the leaves are yellowing a bit. Watering always with ph 6,3-6,5 growing in soil. I have a diary from her too. She’s like 47days old. Happy growing!

Ongoing pH issuesWatered at 6.5 pH and runoff was at 5.5. I am going to start watering at a higher pH today and continue measuring runoff. Should I stop feeding at this time? I have been feeding 1/2 dosage of Fox farms trio with every watering last 2 weeks. Is there likely soil build up to flush?
