Do I need to buffer Plagron Coco coir?
NonameGrowDude
started grow question 2y ago
I never used this brand before so was wondering if any one has experience with Plagron Cocos Premium. Do I need to buffer it with cal/mag before use or can I use it directly from the bag?

I would. I usually use Canna but also plagron and the plagron did at every transplant cause a mg Def. To be safe I'd say yes

Maintaining the soil pH
I give pH'ed water, never more than 800ppm and I still always end up with lockouts. I used to not give water untill runoff but now I do. What to do after testing the runoff? It's currently at 6.0 even after a flush with 7.2. Ask many questions I need to know what I'm doing wrong.

Manure in outdoor pots.
How much manure should I mix into my pro-mix. I have a pile of seasoned manure from last year and want to use it in my outdoor pots. I want to mix in some Gaia Green bloom into it also. Thinking of using 10 gallon fabric pots. My photo seedings just popped out of pure pro-mix.

re-using soil worth it?
Anyone with experience (give comparison growth, yield,...).... I use biobizz light mix. Normally, I only have to mix the soil with a bit of fresh soil and worm hummus to activate organic life again. And ofcourse break the old plant material with enzymes first and let it rest

Lightening Soil - Coco Coir or Perlite?
I think my soil is a bit heavy and could have better drainage. Should I add more perlite or some coco coir for my next garden? My base is Biobizz Light-Mix. I'm thinking of supplementing it with 10%-15% of perlite or coco coir. Does this sound good or should I do something else?
