I never was able to grow anything in that soil. Every plant sprouted & died within a week. Changed to FFOF & never had an issue again. That soil seems to need special treatment to me. I didn't like it. But several have good grows with it so I guess it can grow weed.
They have a pretty informative site so maybe Mrgrower can get a handle on it. They say 6.2 to 6.5 ph so it's confusing. I thought it was coco, but they grow in it like soil?
Nah it's not coco mate.
Like @Buds Buddy mentioned, I'd figure the watering different. There's a pair of good watering links in my sig below. Check them out. I say this not because of your plants, they look perfect, you may want to not change a thing. You're doing whatever you're doing right it seems from here. Just have a looksee at what some of us are doing.
Yep
Welcome to 420magazine @Mrgrower221 great garden.
Hi all
just wondering if anyone can help me out here.
I started with a biobizz light mix transferred into bigger pots with biobizz all mix. These are about 3 weeks old from seed. I’ve just been giving them water morning and night. Wondering if I can add any nutrients ex. Biobizz (biogrow) ? Or keep on just water for abit longer ? Any help
Although I appreciate the mention, please don't put me on a list of people who are supporting bottom watering... I will never subscribe to or endorse that method. Top watering is the only way to pull oxygen down to the lower roots with every wet/dry cycle and to be able to keep track of root development and rate of water usage. With top watering, gravity pulls the water down to the bottom anyway, "showing the roots where to go."
Apologies, won't do it again, must have misunderstood you
Respect right back and thank you for your response. Let me explain the physics. When you water from the top, a pool of water forms in the bottom of the container due to gravity pulling the water down. When you water correctly, you saturate the soil in a vertical column in that container and there is water all the way from the top to the bottom. Visualize this as a lake, that as the plant uses the water, the level falls steadily down toward the bottom of the container. Visualize the top of this lake, acting as a diaphragm as it falls, sucking air down from the surface all the way down to the top surface of that lake. This is a tremendous amount of suction too... and it easily pulls the air all the way down to the bottom as the water table falls to that level. It can not be resisted. You can see this happening as you water from the top. Make a pool of water on the surface and watch it as it falls. The further this water falls, the more suction that is created, and your next batch of water on that surface will physically be sucked down very quickly once the suction has started. I have people tell this deaf girl that this suction can actually be heard, little pops and sucking sounds as the water is pulled down. Well, along with that water comes air... lots and lots of air.
Fair enough - I guess the physics is pretty much the same, flood and drain
