Don't start your seedlings in a "hot" mix, just normal soil. When staging your final pot, use your hot mix in the bottom third of your pot with a lighter blend up top. The plant's taproot will go digging when she gets hungry.

First time testing PPM and slightly panicked :c Runoff was at 2200PPM. I flushed her with 5L of pH 5.8 water. I got the runoff to 1000PPM where I left it. The pH was at 7 though and was higher than before the flush. Why is that? I always pH before watering. Also, is the flush going to cause trouble for her? I kind of panicked.

Did I need to size up to larger rockwool cubes?Geminated seeds in 1x1x1 rockwool cubes. End state is to be in 5 gallon buckets with 8" net pot and clay pebbles. I figured the roots are too small to reach all the way into water solution still so put small cubes into 4x4x4 rockwool. Did I need to use larger cubes?

Lebende Erde spülen Ich weiß, bis zur Ernte dauert es noch. Aber da ich rein organisch anbaue, stellt sich mir die Frage, ob ich vor der Ernte spülen soll. Macht es Sinn -oder ist es überhaupt möglich- eine lebendige Erde zu spülen?
