Greenls Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) Maybe you should focus on finding out where your going wrong mid flower rather then just keep switching soil, as regardless whether using a light mix such as PM or a hotter all-mix, by mid flower its only your bottled inputs that's left in play. BTW, your not in coco or hydro, its really unnecessary to check/adjust ph. Edited October 25, 2020 by Greenls 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piper.180 Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 @thedemon thanks for the input @Greenls yeah your right, I pretty much come to the same conclusion before I see your post. I've ordered the PM soil. I'll try to find out what's going on mid flower and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slippy One Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Not to be a downer on soil but after my last bag of Plagron allmix (the one with perlite and horribly unbroken coco fibres with added twigs, I made the switch to coco with regular daily watering using semi organic nutrients, my plants really exploded and never again did I see deficiencies and over/under watering damage. Loved it so much I converted the mums to coco. soil is great for outdoors but for control, it’s coco all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piper.180 Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 @Slippy One that's very interesting, maybe something I'll look at in the future. Just out of interest, do you water your coco by hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my question answered. I'll give it a swerve and get some more biobizz light mix,would never have given it a go but it was an accidental purchase and the plants have loved it from start to finish.

Clubs Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I wonder if growing in light mix (of some sort) and keeping a bat in your grow space would have the same outcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CustardVape Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I was looking at Batmix last night out of interest, think ill steer clear and stick with my Clover MPC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 So a couple of weeks ago I had this plant in my veg tent, it was looking very very sorry for itself, mainly due to being underwatered (i do that alot in the veg tent). It was so bad that the compost had reduced by about 30%, so the 6 ltr pot was about 2/3 full from the shrinkage. The plant had gone a bit woody and there was a good few skanky leaves. Instead of chucking her away I decided to pot her up into an 11ltr pot of Playgron Batmix as a tester. She grew out fine, I can't recall if I used a root stim or not now but she was sat on a heat mat and the new growth was fine. I've put her in flower this morning. Today I took a few more vegging plants and potted them up into Batmix too so I'll see how they go too. I had one plant that's very important to me but that got potted into Canna Pro, I'm not risking that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Badgeley Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Tropic Bat Mix from a popular on line grow shop, is fantastic stuff. Light and airy with a 60/40 coco/compost mix. No clumps, twigs or Perlite I am 5 weeks in veg and have only used Root Stim and a dash of Seaweed and they look great. I used Clover MPC for seedlings and re potted using TBM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
