I’m lucky I get to play with coco for work and soil hobby . I agree coco is user friendly and easy to correctThere's always an asymptote in the mix or it wouldn't be exciting. I'll stick with Coco.

I don’t see that at work and I check run off ph and soil ph with blue lab meter for multiple rooms a day.Here's what I know. If I measure the "runoff" pH, I get a number nowhere remotely close, to the reading from a Blulab soil pH probe, in organic soil mixes.
I did have to battle some spider mites and things have cleaned upLooks like some mite damage also to these old eyes.
I hope so?A slurry will give a far more accurate representation of the pH of the media, but you are correct.
I'm imagining this mix being heavily amended with soluble lime, and it's being washed out.
Could you explain?I wouldn't pay too much to the runoff EC either. That soil is amended and you're washing those amendments out and concentrating them in the runoff. You could take that soil straight from the bag and run distilled water through it and get the same runoff EC reading.
Silica is awesome, but can also raise the pH, just so you're aware. And I'm not a fan of Superthive personally, but I'm a big fan of aloe, coconut and teas.From clone they went into
1 gallon roots organic original with mykos watered with ewc compost tea.
They spent 5 weeks in there one gals under 96 watt t5s where they received protech silica some superthrive here and there as well as some aloe Vera and coconut water all light dilutions
Ro from the jump.
Week 5-6 they went into 5 gallons and same same compost tea while carrying along camg as of recently when I started to see issues.
they have been in the 5 gals for 18 days.
maybe “ I fed these plants” was the wrong choice of words.
I’m always adjusting after silica usually touch of diluted molasses or super thrive will bring it down amongst others. I wonder if silica will raise soil ph in general regardless of where solution in is adjusted to?Silica is awesome, but can also raise the pH, just so you're aware.

I started in NFT rails. Coco has all the benefits of hydro with few draw backs.I’m lucky I get to play with coco for work and soil hobby . I agree coco is user friendly and easy to correct
This is what roll it up is all about good information, patience and compassion. I’m gunna lay off silica for a bit and eliminate that variableSilica is awesome, but can also raise the pH, just so you're aware. And I'm not a fan of Superthive personally, but I'm a big fan of aloe, coconut and teas.
LOL with coco you just hit it with potassium bicarbI’m always adjusting after silica usually touch of diluted molasses or super thrive will bring it down amongst others. I wonder if silica will raise soil ph in general regardless of where solution in is adjusted to?
Uhhh, you're new here huh?This is what roll it up is all about good information, patience and compassion. I’m gunna lay off silica for a bit and eliminate that variable
Huh? Explain lolCan anyone tell me when a Phd became prerequisite to growing a weed that wants to grow like one?
I’ve been in and out of roll it up for 10 years mostly to research never really setting up an established thing. Why do you askUhhh, you're new here huh?
Potassium bicarb to raise ph?LOL with coco you just hit it with potassium bicarb
You sound ligit but I’m not sure what it is your sayingVastly influenced by salt content and insulators in the soil at undetermined and inconsistent moisture levels. Just sayimg.
Yes and phosphoric acid to lower it. I'll answer your other in moment I'm still choking with laughter. You've made my day.Potassium bicarb to raise ph?
Hence the reason my Blulab Leap, soil pH probe is collecting dust, as my organic (ish) soils have my plants thriving...Vastly influenced by salt content and insulators in the soil at undetermined and inconsistent moisture levels. Just sayimg.
