Soil or Soilless??
This confused me too all ends my first grow. I do not have a growing medium picked yet for second grow. I do have nutrients and don't want to buy more.
1) I have 3 part liquid nutrients, 2 bottles say use in "soilless, hydro, coco" and 1 says use in "soil, hydro, coco". It is a 3 part bought together!! So this already confuses me..
2) First grow was "Organic Potting Soil". I assumed this must be soil, and PH'd the water accordingly.
3) Because my nutes said soilless, I figured they weren't any good for Organic Potting SOIL.
4) Went to local store to buy soil nutes, and the guy handed me bottles which also said "soilless, hydro, coco"... Told him I'm growing in Potting Soil, need soil nutes.. He assured me soilless label was for soil?? So confusing.
Soooo...
1) What medium do I buy to use the nutrients I have?
2) With this medium, what should the PH of water be? 5.8 soilless? Or 6's for soil?
