pH/FloraNova Questions
Well I found out I can't use the Miracle Grow Organic because it will be hard to control the pH while using FloraNova, and it will go very low. God damn it. Everything I buy seems to be the wrong thing... I have invested so much into this grow, for months, and still nothing is happening. Seeds aren't germinating, bought wrong nutes, spent hps light money on weed, because of the seeds not germinating, so I figure by the time they are ready to be flowered, I'll have more money to get a light and can veg under CFLs but still...
On my last grow, I used MG Organic/Perlite and Expert Gardener powdered ferts and distilled water, and everything was fine. But I was told that was not the best.
So I try to improve for my grow that I'm trying to have, but things keep turning out wrong. I'm told distilled water is terrible for plants, so I buy spring water, but then realize it's a waste of space, time, and money, to buy by the gallon and then mix in nutrients that I find out will burn my plant, if used with the soil.
So, I figured I'd buy hyponex to use instead of the MGO, but then I find out it's terrible for cannabis. So, I'm finally directed to buy Promix, which seems like it's what I need, but unfortunately it's too late in the season to buy at home depot and they don't have it.
My hydro store sells all the fox farm soils, and expensive GHBB soils, and all these soils that are ferted, that I'm told will make using my FloraNova a living nightmare trying to control pH, and not burning my plants...
So WTF should I do? I'm practically out of money, from buying so many different things for this grow.
I don't want to mix my own organic soil. I just want to buy a damn bag of something UNFERTED, and light, and mix it with perlite 70/30 and be able to use the SAME thing for the entire duration of my grow. I also want to be able to use FloraNova without it burning my plants, because of the soil.
The only soil that my hydro store has that seems to fit the bill is this:
"Start your seedlings and cuttings off right with Black Gold Seedling Mix. Approved by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI), Seedling Mix consists of perlite, dolomite lime, double-screened Canadian Sphagnum peat moss and an organic wetting agent. Available in a 16-quart bag, this is a light medium great for germinating most plant varieties. Dry contents of BGSM916 will fill approximately eight, one-gallon nursery pots."
But I need to know, from people who know what they're talking about, if I can use that (mixed with perlite 70/30) for the entire grow, while using FloraNova grow and bloom? It seems to be the closest to promix that my hydro store has. Please help. I'm going crazy by keep finding out that I can't use what I've bought.
