Beginner Soil Question Please Help

  1. Hi. Well the plan is to grow with hydropoics, but I haven't got my Wilma 4 Pod yet. Also I mistakenly ordered soil......it said "hydroponics" in the title on ebay. Derrr. Oh well. So now the plan is to continue for now in this soil. Here is a description of it, so would you please rate it for me? I am using 400W MH for veg and HPS for flowering.

    BIOBIZZ ALLMIX
    contains:
    Peatmoss
    Spaghnum Peat
    Worm Casting
    Perlite
    Premix

    EC 2.4
    pH 6.2 - 6.6
    Says it has 2.5L of added fertiliser.
    Your help would be much appreciated, thank you.

    (I have one plant which is about 10 days old and looks healthy)
     
  2. Sounds good except for those pre-loaded ferts.
     
  3. Thanks Toasty....got some yellow spots on one of the bigger leaves now...maybe nute burn, but maybe shock from moving into a big pot of the new soil yesterday, and also replacing the HPS with the MH bulb I received today.....I shall click some of the links in your sig, thank you.

    EDIT: yup overwatered I reckon. I got worried about the ferts so I ran shag loads of water through this massive pot full, left it to drain...not for long enough and stuffed my poor baby plant into it. Damn it. Well the fan is on full and the light hot over it so lets hope it dries out before too much damage is done. Not happy cos that was/is a decent little plant.

    EDIT 2: From Grandpa's Grow Guide:
    "Keep the light-plant distance at least 3' if you use 400 watt" 3 FEET?? Oops! Was less than a foot away.
