im currently doing my first grow and my soil mix is in (4) 3 gal smart pots
SOIL MIX:
50%
OF
30% Jiffy Seedling Mix
20% Perlite
1.33 cups of dolomite lime 2 days ago
Ive read about the low ph ofOF which is why i decided to "cut" it with the seedling mix at this point my accurate 8 ph meter didnt arrive yet so i was unaware of the soils ph. just to be safe i made a core of seedling mix in the pot with the above blend around the core just to be safe as to not burn the seedlings. as of now my seeds are open and show a taproot and i have placed them in my rapid root cubes and they are ontop of my router. well today i measured the soils ph with my accurate 8 and the outer /jiffy layer is reading 5.7-5.9ish toward the more moist soil(i did water when i put the lime in) and the core is reading 6.8(didnt water)... but then i figured id compare it with a "mosser Lee soil test kit and it comes out to around 7.0(before i added the lime it was around a low 6. This sample was taken at the top of the pot and dry soil ) im not sure what to think with the different readings im a complete noob whn it comes to anything more than planting bagseed in miracle grow and water)... is the outer core going to be a problem? if so what should i do to correct it?
