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?

you want right around 6.3 as this is the happy spot. hope this helps
MangoDuduanswered grow question 5y 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

Leafs losing Color, die off.I could really use some help recognizing if and which deficiencies the Super Skunk has. It's currently growing in an organic soil that's been pre-fertilized and should be enough to complete the cycle. The temperatures are around 23c (73,4F) day and 19c (66F) night.

Please help identify the cause, interveinal chlorosis since 2 weeks old, no necrosis so far. These two plants are 26 days old. Do they look stunned?Is this magnesium def since it's going from the bottom? Is it possible the first signs started to show when they were just 2 weeks old? Or is this iron? Or is it smth else? Calmag given two days ago. Pistils show already. I water with ph6.2 but no runoff yet to know the soil ph.

Fixed soil PH: Now from young leaves' interveinal chlorosis to all over light greenSoil Ph was off: 7.1. Switched to phosph. acid and use Epsom salt. Now: 6,4ph, Ca/Mg ratio at 3:1 (instead of 11:1). Used foliar spray (GH Enhancer). Ladies still show deficiencies: Now all over light green. Didn't feed Bloom due to overfeeding in grow. Will give Bloom in two day

LSD Auto BarneysFarm is showing nutrient deficiency. I need some help to get this girl unstressed.I'm using BioBizz LightMix with the BioTabs Starter Kit in 25L pots (prepared the medium from the beginning with 3 biotabs). I have three girls where 2 of them are running healthy, only the LSD Auto is making trouble. How can I fix the problem which you can see on the image?

Ph value is decreasing despite BioBizzUpI don´t get it I´m trying to increase the Ph value but it is permanently falling again to a value of 4,2.
Any idea what could be the reason why my Ph adjustments (BioUp) are not taking effect in the soil.

Are those nutrient defficiencies? Which ones?A plant had interveinal chlorosis on new leaves and then proceeded to show brown patches between veins on middle leaves. Another has coppery brown spots on leaf edges on the middle of the plant. Both were rootbound in living soil (peat/perlite/hummus + ammendments).

I keep loosing leaves to some sort of nasty necrosis. It affects leaves at all levels, small and big randomly. I had to remove a lot of dying foliageAt first it looks like a asymmetrical spot of leaf starting to thin out to lighter color then tissue dries and turn black. I have high runoff EC3.3 and I blame Easy boost pellets because I only add rootjuice 1ml/L and sugar royal 0.5ml/L to my water. What is it and how I fix it?

PH-Problems in SoilBefore repotting, the pH value in the soil has always fallen to below 5.5. The plants always have an iron deficiency. I then repotted the plants and that worked well for 14 days. Now they are showing PH deficits again. The soil has PH 5,4 -4,8. What could be the reason?

Buon giorno weed doctors, did anyone have similar uniform chlorosis at the top or maybe knows what's up? What could be the reason and the solution? ThIs this some sort of immobile nutrient deficiency or excess? Could this be caused by heat and light stress? She is 80cm tall and almost touches the lights in the tent. I'm usually suffering from Calmag and Nitrogen issues and haven't yet experienced yellowing from the top. Thanks

Runoffs are significantly below inputs-Do I have a problem?Runoff continues to be a mystery. When watering I continue to get significantly less Ph and PPM (4.8 ph and 109 ppm) than my inputs (6.2 ph and 155 ppm) but the plant looks healthy. I have no idea what is going on or if its even a problem. Should I be worried and what can I do?
