What brand peat did you use? Read the bag and see if it was buffered with anything

Jimmy’s organic seed starting mix, it has all 3 in 1. Doesn’t say anything about anything being buffered on the package.

Does it have lime or anything like oyster shell listed in the ingredients?

You may be able to raise your ph by adding silica as a supplement. 2 birds one stone.

4.9ph is super low. What is your water?

Water is distilled with the FloraTrio added. Negative on the lime and oyster shell.

Can you take a pic of the ingredients on the bag?

With distilled water your ph should be around 7. Something is going on for your ph to be that low. Peat is naturally super acidic, so it is usually buffered with something to neutralize it.

You may want to look into top dressing with lime, or perhaps repotting into a soil. Ive never top dressed to raise ph so i wouldnt be of much help on how to go about doing it. I guess ph up would help. But im kinda worried about what coco you used too, if thats unbuffered it will leech calmag creating other issues
