Trying pro mix bx for the first time. I'm seeing a lot of mixed info on ideal PH range and if PHing water is needed due to the lime buffer. Since there is always a lot riding on each grow, I'd rather not fuck around and find out. Is Pro Mix actually treated like semi soilless (hydroish) at around 5.5-6.0 PH? Do you actually need to PH water going in or will that natural buffer take care of it? Ideally I could just put in my regular water at 7.7 PH or my nutrient solution which typically acidifies the water to around 6.5-6.7. Will I need to PH the water down to like 5.8 so PH will rise as dries?
