Sweet Bell Pepper From Seed
Better Organix
Pro-Mix Recycled
Plant has been doing great.. No issues to date.. I am transplanting into my usual 5 gal nursery pot and then she will be hitting the great outdoors in these nice 90F+ days.. Hot as ever

Bio Media Pro-Dusting
Root Better-Dusting
Bio-Balance Media-Drench
Bio-Hydrate- Drench
Stir well on your Drench due to the powder in BBM (Bio Balance Media)..
If in Soil-Less Media.. I will drop a few ph down drops down only due to the spike in ph water due to BBM..
If in Soil the clay will buffer it out no worries.. :)
It's not required it will just help ensure you get the most out of your products.. Otherwise if you don't have a ph pen you can use
Bio-Balance Foliar on a Bi-Weekly or Weekly application..

Now just a waiting game.. :)
if your adding BBM to hydro, you might want to drop out the Floret or K feeds so you dont overload the system with K and drive out your exchangeable Cal/Mag. I aint saying add cal mag to soil, I mean your plant might struggle to get it if we add too many K cations esp when the plant itself adds extra H+ along with that getting split from our water.
I would look at using Bio balance Foliar if running through the media in soil-less, this will help keep the pH lower and so keep access to other cations like Cal mag up. You will lose Ca and Mg oh and Fe once pH climbs due to cation media overload. Aiming for 6.0-6.4 would keep everything happy.
Soil-less media requires more attention is paid to the K levels and H levels. Using BBM can be a great tool to maintain ideal levels of K between primary base feeds and the product works to Chelate available Calcium so preventing it binding to Phosphates for example.
Calcium is always a problem, this is because there is loads of it, esp in soils, the plants themselves use lots of water, so draw in lots of calcium which then hangs around the roots where it quickly becomes a pest in poor pH conditions.
