2:1 coco to perlite -- golden. ~30% perlite
Fertigate every irrigation around 1.3-1.5 concentration with a well-balanced feed and it'll go fine. Dial it in and you'll have a 2' 40+ gram solo cup plant no problem.

the goal is the plant gets so big oyu need something to hold the cup upright because it's so top-heavy :P
and think about how you'll secure it when it gets there... so ti doesn't fall over.

I always rinse my coco to get the smaller particles out of it. Then soak it in 150 ppm of cal/mag for 30 min. Growing in a solo cup i would only add 5-10% perlite.

Soil Amount Heavily DecreasedHello everyone, I'm almost at the end of my first grow and I've noticed that the amount of soil in my pots compacted pretty heavily. How do I avoid this problem in my next grow? (Pictures show the beginning and the current state of the soil; ~ -7cm soil height)

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?

Optimal pH for solution, when growing in 70% Promix BX, 30% perlite.I'm having trouble finding reliable info regarding what to pH my nute solution to, I read that some like to look at it as hydro (technically soilless), and others view it as soil (due to being preloaded). So 5.5 - 6 or 6 - 6.5? HELP have done full grow using 5.5-6, peep the grow.Week 1
