Brand new coco shows PH at 4.5, plants in germination state

Weedizstarted grow question 4y ago

I am germinating my seeds in coco. My coco shows PH of 4.5! That seems way too low! I tried to flushing with PH 6.7 water without any effect (see growdiary for more info). What should I do? Is something wrong with my coco?

I used a three gallon pot and filled it, with moist soil, to around 70% capacity. Would this soil be enough for a single Royal Gorilla Auto or Should I add more soil? If the answer is positive then how should I go about it? Any help is greatly appreciated since I am a total noob.

adjusting ph level with BioBizz Light Mix and coco mix I have been adjusting my ph level to around 6.2-6.5. Now I'm wondering whether this was a mistake (see previous post), since I'm using BioBizz Light Mix (60%), coco coir (30%) and perlite (10%) as my substrate. Our tap water has a ph level of about 7.3.

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?

So 5.5 - 6 or 6 - 6.5? HELP have done full grow using 5.5-6, peep the grow.
