Soilless PH window specific peat/coco/perlite mix
Ok I need the nail in the coffin guys. I’m using Fafard Root Factory RF C8. Picture shows ingredients. What is my ideal PH window for this type of mix? I’m also about to transplant. I normally just fill a pot, sprinkle Dynomyco, drop plant, fill in and water. Is this correct?

10g pots a good idea?
I am using 10 gallon pots on this grow with a mix of soils including some from the chicken coop (aged). As a new grower I see a lot of advice to go smaller. To me larger systems are more stable, am I off?

Can you please tell me if the sides need to be covered with earth?
When I covered the soil in the beginning it wasn't like that, but after waterings the soil shrunk and now there is space between the pot fabric and the soil. Should I add more soil to avoid root problems? And also the water drains down there and quickly runs downhill 😞

Not watered for a week. Why does the soil not dry even from above?
Four fabric pots of 27 liters. Below is drainage from vermiculite, above is a layer of coconut, above is soil from peat, humus, sand and perlite, purchased. In the upper layer, perlite is twice as large.

Fill up plant pots
I mounded the soil around the stems of my plants to give them extra support, which creates a small hill in the center of the pot. Now I’m thinking about filling up the rest of the pot with soil to level it out. Is that a good idea? And what type of soil would be best for it?
