i have used an 80/20 terra plus/pearlite mix in the past and I would need to water twice weekly.
.
would a mix of
terra plus/pearlite at a ratio of 60/40 be in any way too airy for my buddha cheese considering i now water every day aiming for a consistent wet/dry cycle.
.
I use the biocanna range, pk13/14, hygrozyme and topmax,
and i feed conservatively, cos i heard the EC doubles when medium becomes dry.
.
So which would i prioritise?
.
Aeration
(high amount of pearlite but more risk of ec spike so weaker feed mix throughout)
or.
Feeding
(use less pearlite, avoid ec spike by staying more moist and feed stronger mix)
!???
Im askin cos i felt that daily watering gave me a large improvement over twice weekly, but my last grow was just a tiny bit too moist come watering time. I used 20percent pearlite and watered daily. I want to be able to soak daily.
Help!
