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

Not watered for a week. Why does the soil not dry even from above?
Four fabric pots of 27 liters. Below is drainage from vermiculite, above is a layer of coconut, above is soil from peat, humus, sand and perlite, purchased. In the upper layer, perlite is twice as large.

Soil recommendation? Typically use Fox Farms Happy Frog but price keeps going up and quality seems much lower, lots of sticks, not mixed well etc
Is there any soil recommendations anyone can make that are good but a less pricey? Dont get me wrong, I love Fox Farm’s, and 38/bag isnt terrible. I’m just curious if anyone has found a more mainstream soil that’s as good of soil. I also think their quality has been worse lately

Will an air stone in reservoir of water under a fabric pot filled with soil contribute anything?
Soil based grow. 3 gallon fabric pot placed in a 5 gallon bucket, with holes drilled out the bottom. The 5 gallon has a reservoir below it. Can I throw an air stone in the reservoir w/ h20 and pump more air to increase oxygen or will the soil not benefit because it’s a hydro grow

Good quality soil for second grow?
I’m looking for a good quality soil for my second run of plants for when I transplant. I used miracle grow organic potting mix for my first run but was told without the person knowing the brand it was trash just from the looks of it. Dont want to make that mistake again.

Adjusting Soil pH
Biobizz Lightmix is the only soil I could see 6.5 that's why I use it but this time I measure it's 7 my question how come does it happen even though the water it's been getting was no more than 5.8 all the time? I know my organic ph thing adjusts it only for couple of hours.

Slow growth
Bonjours mes growmies dites ? Un substrat composé à 50% de coco vous l'arroser plus fréquemment que un terreau fait que de terre non ? Car je trouve la croissance assez lente de cette gorrila zkittlez et je me demandais si ce n'était à pas un sous-arrosage/sous-fertilisation
