notice how that bottle is full
probably because I hadnt used it in about 10 years
maybe I should have huh? maybe it could have helped
hey did you know that Premiere Tech recommends feeding in pro-mix with a "balanced hydroponic formula ph'd to 5.8 for best uptake of nutrients"
I am gonna have to call over there and see why they would state that on their website if the already ph the mix
oh.....they have an article stating something about.....rhizospere ph/media ph balance, nutrient uptake ph etc.....some kind of science stuff.....sounds kinda like bro-science to me
maybe we can sue for telling the public to ph our nutrients to 5.8 in pro-mix....what a waste
maybe I can make my plants have red stems as well
bright green stems are wack
Do they? Promix says to worry only about runoff, not watering ph...
"Unlike true hydroponics, water pH is not important when using a soilless medium. In this case, the pH of the growing medium is the primary concern and is greatly influenced by the alkalinity (bicarbonates and carbonates) of the water, not the water pH. The only way to accurately determine the alkalinity (calcium carbonate levels) is to have the water analyzed by a reputable lab. The ideal alkalinity for most plant productions in soilless media is 80-150 ppm of calcium carbonate. If the alkalinity levels are above 250 ppm of calcium carbonate in the water, it may become necessary to inject acid to neutralize some of the calcium carbonate and to lower the water alkalinity to optimum levels.
In conclusion, there are several growing practices that are used in classic hydroponics that should not be used for soilless media. First, it is not necessary to use purified water (i.e. reverse osmosis). Secondly, while it may seem wasteful, always leach plants when watering. Finally, monitor soilless medium pH, not water pH"

I post links, you do not.
