MediKat Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Test ph of soil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeysmok3 Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 It's reading a bit high 7.8 what's good to use to lower it? Sorry for the basic questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediKat Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 It may be a bit hot also with compost, id gently repot/transplant it removing as much mirrical grow from its roots as possible. Find some decent garden soil and use 2/3 of that and 1/3 mirracle grow and replant her. I'm no expert but that's what id do. Also recheck new mix's ph again. Good luck, perhaps wait and another member will chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeysmok3 Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Ok thanks heaps, I'm making up a new mix as we speak.I was using miracle gro advanced potting mix too,I'm using roughly 50/50 with sand and the potting mix but should I get perlite too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediKat Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I part miracle, 1 part neutral sandy garden soil and 1 part perlite sounds good to me. Some may suggest another potting mix or combo all together. At the end of the day that miracle alone is way to hot. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stoned Jester Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Gotta watch out with those premade potting mixes they come with all types of fertilizer and stuff already in the mix, probably suffering super nute burn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeysmok3 Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Yeah I think you're right there, hopefully this mix I'm doing will help though, I've done roughly 40% soil 40% sand 20% perlite and I'm adding some sulphur to hopefully bring it down that little bit more. I'll add more of any if needed but just playing around with the mix at the moment. Should I let the soil sit for a day before transplanting the plant or is it better to get it out the original soil first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeysmok3 Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Ok I just 're-potted but changed the mix to 40% soil 30% sand 30% perlite and 10gm sulphur (roughly 3-4kg all up) I also thoroughly watered with ph 6.8 before planting.I'll keep people updated if there's interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matanuska Thunder Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Why did you add the sulfer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
