answered grow question 4y ago
From what I see it looks light and fluffy and not over watered. Should be perfect for a seed to take off in. Best of luck with your grow!

Can you please tell me if the sides need to be covered with earth?
When I covered the soil in the beginning it wasn't like that, but after waterings the soil shrunk and now there is space between the pot fabric and the soil. Should I add more soil to avoid root problems? And also the water drains down there and quickly runs downhill 😞

False reading or Hi PH?
Is 20% humus lombrico mixed in my substrate giving a false ‘hi’ ph reading? Or is it truly over the max reading? I got one reading of 7 only at the exact second I took the picture, so I made a video. My water is high in calcium, I recently switched to distilled.

Soil recommendation? Typically use Fox Farms Happy Frog but price keeps going up and quality seems much lower, lots of sticks, not mixed well etc
Is there any soil recommendations anyone can make that are good but a less pricey? Dont get me wrong, I love Fox Farm’s, and 38/bag isnt terrible. I’m just curious if anyone has found a more mainstream soil that’s as good of soil. I also think their quality has been worse lately

Did I need to size up to larger rockwool cubes?
Geminated seeds in 1x1x1 rockwool cubes. End state is to be in 5 gallon buckets with 8" net pot and clay pebbles. I figured the roots are too small to reach all the way into water solution still so put small cubes into 4x4x4 rockwool. Did I need to use larger cubes?

I believe this to be mycorrhizae that was moving between pots I had touching and premoistened. Any second opinions? Doesnt look like mold. Puts off no spores when disturbed. Does not have that mold smell. Anyone else ever see this?

Good quality soil for second grow?
I’m looking for a good quality soil for my second run of plants for when I transplant. I used miracle grow organic potting mix for my first run but was told without the person knowing the brand it was trash just from the looks of it. Dont want to make that mistake again.

Optimal pH for solution, when growing in 70% Promix BX, 30% perlite.
I'm having trouble finding reliable info regarding what to pH my nute solution to, I read that some like to look at it as hydro (technically soilless), and others view it as soil (due to being preloaded). So 5.5 - 6 or 6 - 6.5? HELP have done full grow using 5.5-6, peep the grow.

Do I need to buffer Plagron Coco coir?
I never used this brand before so was wondering if any one has experience with Plagron Cocos Premium. Do I need to buffer it with cal/mag before use or can I use it directly from the bag?

DWC air pump
Anyone with previous experience, what's the minimum/optimum size pump for my air bubbler? I have a cheapo single line pump, I'm assuming it's enough but not optimum. Can anyone put a number on it in cfm? Is more always better? At what point do you reach diminishing returns?

What and why?
What are these and do I need to address it? I'm a couple of weeks in to my grow and just spotted these little critters when I was cleaning my run off saucers. I'm guessing there's more inside the soil are they harmful to my plants?
