Not so much a problem with the plant, that's doing alright. But the perlite which is mixed into the soil is actually starting to turn a little green.. Now this is the first time I've used perlite so I'm not sure if that's a natural reaction to the nutes/watering but it just doesn't seem right.
Any one else who uses perlite have this happen to them? If it's actually a bad thing, what's the best way to correct the issue and what is the problem that's causing it to happen in the first place?
I've had a bit of an issue with my PH aswell within that soil, which I'm guessing could be a contributing factor. The PH of my reservoir is at 6.5 but the PH of the soil is actually around 5.0 which is too low, I raised the PH of my reservoir a little hoping it would cause the PH of the soil to also raise a little but it didn't really. Any ideas with that also?
Thanks!
