Schultz Orchid Mix-dried pine bark,arcillite, and horticultural charcoal

[latewood]

I picked up a bag to try 1 plant out of my clones...Any comments?
It seems like it would be a nice grow medium, but my main concern is PH
Any suggestions will be appreciated...later.

I looked at it soaked it in water, has a ph of 6.3...pretty good?
I'm gonna give it a shot...adding perlite and spag. moss...any suggestions or comments are more than welcome...this is a learning forum!

Sounds like a healthy medium to me. 6.3 is a good ph. Nothing over 7ph if my memory serves me right. Sounds like you're into organics? That's something I need to get into and change from chemical to organic. Yours sounds good though, good job! Peace.

actually, I am in the grow research phase...I use DWC and soil/medium growing...I am doing side by side...2 plants each
1.promix...similar to Harddon...med. cost 20 bucks...water w/ my nute mix
2. the orchid mix w/moss and perl...med. cost 7 bucks...water w/ my nute mix
3.just plain potting soil with bone meal blood meal lime moss and perl added...med. cost 2 bucks/+ingredients...water with PH'd RO water...just having fun...you know, Grandpa used to say, the proofs in the pudding! We are going to find out....later
