you pretty much nailed it on the peat mixes, but most people think just because its sold in a store its soil, miracle grow is peat based, ffof is peat based, they are both soil-less, not soil
Oh, well yea I guess you are right. I feed my ffof @ 6.5 ph though. I was wondering if you would feed what you were talking about at 5.5-5.8ish? Or same as I have been? I have seen people do it w/ that both ways but never paid much attention to which was better or worse. In the end, I guess it depends on your plants too to an extent, no matter what the traditional wisdom is, sometimes your plants say otherwise, I have learned that lol. Last run my runoff was like 5.5, nothing I could do. In the end, everything was just fine. All the books say that is not good though, but my plants never noticed. The one thing about a more traditional hydro setup I like is that you don't deal w/ a medium so to speak like you do in container gardens like I have now. The thing I don't like, is that it has more things that can go wrong, like timers, pumps, etc... if it is dependant on stuff like that. So I dunno, lots of thinking to do. Thanks all, rep for everyone as soon as I get back.
