Hi fellow growers! I'm about to start a new grow with Biotabs slow release and automated watering system. Sensors of this system doesn't like too many perlites so I didn't add more and I combined it with Biobizz Worm Humus. How much of it is too much? Will it burn?

I also stopped using clay pebbles at the bottom because it raises pH of the substrate. I will see what happens

if you use biotabs your soil is a bit too loaded I've never used these products but I've looked around a bit humus should be added to all mix to "recharge" it and you need about 15% so a 15% could work in light mix too but 40% is a bit much I would suggest, if you can, to add more light mix and have 15% humus and the rest light mix I remind you that biobizz light mix is medium fertilized and can take a seed to the second week without problems one last thing, perlite is mainly used for irrigation, while humus loads the substrate, an alternative is expanded clay pellets which add volume and help aeration

I always used Biobizz Lightmix and added extra perlite but this time with Blumats didn't add extra perlite and I wanted to try Worm Humus for the first time, I see people using it around 10%. Because I couldn't add extra perlite, My lightmix volume was not enough so I had to add around 40% Worm Humus. Didn't germinated the seeds yet. Do you think is it good or bad?
