I use a farm compose with manure, hay etc mix with
Wood chip compost. I grow in 5 gal containers.
Growing auto flowers. PH is like 7.8,
Plants are strong and healthy using Fox farm trio and flowering ads
Thanks
ph is to high, should be betwee 6.3 and 6.8. At 7,8 you are locking out valuable nutes…
I have no exp with the soil…
Correct!!
I’m mixing and feeding at 6.3-6.5
If plants are strong and healthy you couldn’t ask for anything more!
So does anyone know at what point to start using the Robert Bergman plant protector? As a seedling or beginning of veg?
*root protector
It’s a soil amendment, not a plant nutrient. It puts beneficial microbes into the soil to help
your roots absorb vitamins. Use it at Veg to help form a better root ball.
Your soil pH to high. It prevents roots from absorbing vital vitamins.
Look into Dolomite lime OR small Pine Needles. (The pine needles will lower your pH BUT they
take a while to break down and start working).
Soil PH and Watering PH are two completely different facets of the same triangle.
