Hi guys

How should the pH level be by 70% Vermiculite and 30% perlite, I read something that 5.0 or 5.2 it's that true?

This time I want too grow my mamas in vermiculite/perlite mix, but I got nutrient deficiency what I think I cause by pH.

Growing for years in coco and never have it like that, I use the same A+B since years.

EC level 0.8
pH 5.8
water temp 20c

Tanks in Advance

That's an odd color pattern for a nute deficiency, but a wild guess is that it might be related to the light being too intense.

Well yes it's N deficiency, but very strange that this only happens in vermiculite perlite mix, lights are the same as i use before, nothing change there.

I will lower the lights power and add a bit more AB to 1.0EC,

Ph of your nutrients should be about 5.5-6.0

There arw a LOT of factors that play into light tolerance. They are in a completely different media, probably different ages etc. etc.

This plants have light and heat stress also. But again there can be many reasons… humidity, temp etc etc etc.

Up to you what to do but thats lights stress 100% to the point of bleaching
