Soil Buffering? PM Range

[z-man12]

How does soil Ph buffering work? Would I need to use ph up or ph down?

I will be using the PM range, supreme compost + root stimulant + bio-silicon + OT grow + OT bloom

Best starting ph of water to use this range with?

My last grow with those nutes i did'nt pH my feed or water (ec 0.0 ph7) and let the soil do its job as to the buffering Z i'll leave that for someone in the know as i dont mate , lol ,

its not the starting pH Z if your pHing you would add all your nutes to the water then adjust the pH and set it at 6.5 for soil , hope this helps Z-man :smokebuds:

I will try go for 7 with my water. Please correct me if I am wrong, optimum ph is 6.2 - 6.8?

Also about temps and humidity, going for 26C and 50% throughout the grow.

:thumbs:

The temps and humidity you're looking for are fine... don't get anxious if they stray from that range slightly...

Thanks for the help guys :hug:
Been looking about the nutes schedule, dex helped out a lot. here it is

[FONT=&quot]Twice a week

Week 1: 3ml Root Stimulant per litre
Week 2: 1ml OT Grow + 0.5ml Bio-Silicon + 5ml Root Stimulant per litre
Week 3: 2ml OT Grow + 0.5ml Bio-Silicon + 5ml Root Stimulant per litre
Week 4: 3ml OT Grow + 0.5ml Bio-Silicon + 5ml Root Stimulant per litre
Week 5: 4ml OT Grow + 0.5ml Bio-Silicon + 5ml Root Stimulant per litre
Week 6: 3ml OT Bloom + 0.5ml Bio-Silicon per litre[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Week 7: 4ml OT Bloom per litre[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Week 8: 4ml OT Bloom per litre[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Week 9: 4ml OT Bloom per litre[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Week 10: 3ml OT Bloom per litre or plain water[/FONT]

I tweaked it a bit and wanted to know if anyone else has any tips or advice?

I don't do feeding schedules, but that seems a week or two early on the grow... Plus, I don't know what strains you're growing, but on most autos, based on personal experience, you're going to need a couple weeks of water only when using bottled nutes, organic or not... they are still concentrated. It's not the same as growing in a self-sufficient organic soil mix (i.e. TLO, supersoils).

The only thing i would do differant is add in the grow with the bloom but at a low dose untill 3 weeks before harvest then you want to get rid of the N.Dont forget plants still need N in flowering but obviously need more P :thumbs:

 

[z-man12]

OT Bloom has a quite nice ratio of N by itself.

PM compost is a "light mix" with low nute content and starting with 1ml of Grow on week 2 seems balanced.

when to start feeding depends on the size pots there in
i use a light mix compost /coco coir my last auto grow was kvs in 6ltr pots
and i only fed seaweed extract and bio silicon for the first 5 weeks
pm soil in the same size pots should be good for around 4 weeks
autos are usualy light feeders (if thats what your growing)
