Tremojemstarted grow question 2 years ago
Anyone ever use Chunky perlite? For example Mother Earth's #3 or #4. Typically it is sized as the following...fine, medium, course and super course.

i've used teh super chunk stuff before...
i did not like it... yeah, base 1-2" can be fine if you do that... in fact teh chunky stuff is probably better for that. i think it's too much obstruction to roots as well as not as effective impoving dainage, while still taking up same sapce ("lbs for lbs" so to speak))
you can easily crunch it up a bit... doesn't take much force to break it down slightly... not that i think it is woth the effort. splitting hairs, but i wasn't a fan of the super coarse stuff.. What i used was #4. I think the stuff that comes in teh premixed mothe earth is a bit too small.. so you know.. fuck it, lol. still prefer convenience relative to small pecentages.

The big perlite seems to work slightly better, some have said it's harder to mix in the soil but the amount of O2 the bigger perlite provides the rhyzosphere is much greater then granulated perlite allowing the roots to uptake neuts better, rather making the neuts more available. Hope this helps!

Yeah I mean I’d recommend probably the 3 being course. I use the 4 (super course) for actually filling an inch or so on the bottom of the container. But they seem too big to mix into the actual medium well.. but definitely recommend the larger than the smaller

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?

Mold on soilI used BioBizz LightMix with Monsterbud Mix from Amnesia and some mycorrhiza in the hole of the seed. 3 seeds after 3 days still not germinated in soil. Had foil on top of the pots for humidity. Probably watered a bit too much. What should I do and will my seeds still germinate?

What and why?What are these and do I need to address it?
I'm a couple of weeks in to my grow and just spotted these little critters when I was cleaning my run off saucers. I'm guessing there's more inside the soil are they harmful to my plants?
