ph of the grow medium
alright been looking for a few hours and cant find a satisfying answer to my questions. so what do you all think:
1- sphagnum peat moss, perlite and vermiculite medium, is it soil or soilless. noone seems to agree but i would think it is soilless.
2- looked at all the ph charts (for nutrients availability) and some say that soil/soilless mediums should be at the same ph while other say soilless needs to be between 5.7-6.2 and soil 6.5-6.8 or so. damn it gets confusing.
if any experienced grower ever used such a mix let me know what ph you used for watering and what the ph of the medium was adjusted to. I'm so confused right now.
p.s: i know some of y'all think that peat aint good for growing but i've seen successful grows using this same mix i just described. just need to control the ph of the acidic peat....
anyways thank you all.smokeallday Reviewed by smokeallday on . ph of the grow medium alright been looking for a few hours and cant find a satisfying answer to my questions. so what do you all think: 1- sphagnum peat moss, perlite and vermiculite medium, is it soil or soilless. noone seems to agree but i would think it is soilless. 2- looked at all the ph charts (for nutrients availability) and some say that soil/soilless mediums should be at the same ph while other say soilless needs to be between 5.7-6.2 and soil 6.5-6.8 or so. damn it gets confusing. if any Rating: 5
