Really? Ive grown in those soils years. If I dont help the herd, I HAVE to pH. Its not contradictory. Its plant science. If youre out of range. Ur plants wont eat. Pretty simple.
What is this buffer u keep mentioning? As far as Im concerned there is no such thing aside from as I just mention. Mychorrize or however u spell it.
And your plants will wither and die around week 3 of flower. Those soils DO NOT have enough to flower. Even 12-12 from seed. Its not gonna work. This is why I dont give coco advice. And if i do, i leave a disclaimer and tag in coco growers. Quite instigative (Keystone-like quality that i admire) but not the most knowledgeable… (not very keystone-like)
U two both give solid advice. But when it comes to newer growers, the input can be extremely overwhelming. When in this type of situation, tag someone who knows. Dont keep pushing ur side, unless ur positive itll be a positive outcome. Nothing hurts more then killing someone’s plants thru a forum. Trust me. Ive felt that shame.
@Nik get up pics whenever you have a chance. Also like stated, a tds/ppm meter will be an invaluable tool in your arsenal. Drop that 12 bucks and get one. Lol
