and would the hydromix hp (high porisity) growing medium be good for the soil in the pots?? its got perlite in it
majopr components canadian spbagnum peat moss 70%by volume
perlite 30 perfect per volume\
starter nutrition micronutriants and macronutriants
ph adjuster gypsum and dolomitic lime
wetting agent
guy at the store said flush with around 6ph water? and to use the dnf gro a and b just alot less and to let em dry out
well a 6x6" hole works.. I meant a 6" in diameter hole but it amounts to the exact same thing. So yes, that will work :)Quote:

Peat is acidic by nature and if you don't do this then you will have horrible soil chemistry, but if you stay on target flushing/transplanting once every 4 weeks then you will be right as rain.Quote:

Let's put it this way.. if I met your hydro guy I would break my foot off in his arse for screwing up your grow.Quote:

Soil grows ph range is from 6.3-6.8
soilless grow is from 5.8-6.3
Hydro is 5.2-5.8
Coco is 5.2 - 6.8 (yes.. coco is awesome if you know what you're doing with it.)
Tell him to eat a big one and flush your plants with 6.8 ph'd water.
would it be alright to use like a half dose every second watering like 1.5mg per L every 2 weeks or whatever i was doing full dose every 3daYS
the problem with hydro nutes is that the concentration is off compared to soil. Often times you will over feed your plants or burn them entirely.. secondly hydro nutes don't really have any chelating agents in them so they break down into salts.. which in turn gives you very bad soil chemistry.Quote:

That's not to say I'm telling you to get miracle grow, but that's to put things in perspective for you. If you can't afford Fox farms nutrient line then that's fine, and believe me I understand what it's like to be on a budget.. but your cheapest soil based nutes would be better than feeding them hydro based nutes.
What are the temps in your grow room looking like now?
