Problem measuring EC. Is it my measuring device? Or maybe my measuring method? Im very confused. Help please!!
I ve performed several EC readings in water comming off my pot when I water and they always give very high values: 3.5 to 4.5. People told me it shoudnt be higher than 2.5. I ve tried two different substrates, last one biobizzallmix and very litle to non fertilization. Cause??

I believe this to be mycorrhizae that was moving between pots I had touching and premoistened. Any second opinions? Doesnt look like mold. Puts off no spores when disturbed. Does not have that mold smell. Anyone else ever see this?

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?

Clay pebbles at the bottom
I'm thinking using this like maybe an half inch in 4 gallon fabric pot - for better airflow for roots & to prevent overwatering. They absorb the excess well and give off slowly. Been doing this with my normal plants at home and it works well for them. Anyone with experience?

Organic slow-release fertiliser tablets
Bought tabs with slow-release for 10-12 weeks -> usage 30gr/1 ounce per plant. Should I mix it with pre-fertilized soil of 3 weeks? (15L/4gallon pot) Their Customer Support told me the plants would be fine. I have to mix it in the beginning. Possibility for overfeeding????

Grow medium for Beginner
Hello! Newbie Here! Can anyone recommend growing medium for a beginner? I don't care too much about flavour or yield, rather I'm looking for low-maintenance options/fool proof options. Also looking for nutrients that are somewhat easy to use and understand for that substrate.

Whataretheeeeeese
The soil holds too much the water and takes too long to dry up, no fan or temps will drop bellow acceptable, so besides taking advantage of the sun whatelse to do? They seem to hold well and have steady grow even without watering for 5 days... they dont need oxigen or what?
