Hi!
I am new in this lovely site, so feel free to move this topic if required... Also, I'm from Argentina so please be patient with my English xD.
I am going to start my third grow some weeks from now and I want to change my nutrients/soil plan (I don't like the nutrients brand I'm using currently because it's ultra-super concentrated and kind of hard to dose, also it's liquid and doesn't have expiration dates written so...). I was thinking of going with some kind of all in one solution, maybe mineral as i have little space (54*56cm in flowering room) and need to maximize production since I'm Sir Smokealot.
In my country I can get the Green House Powder Feeding, and since I use soil I have two options to combine them: a light soil or a prefertilized one (duh). Which leads me to some questions:
1) If i use a light soil with a 5.5ph, would this be very acidic for the pre-flowering transplant and the flowering period in general(althought it would be fertilized every week, of course)?
2) If i use a prefertilized soil with a 6.0ph in order to reduce fertilizer costs when vegging (combine a prefertilized soil with only the flowering solution), will this soil be too full of Nitrogen for the flowering period? Or is it okay and i'm over-thinking it (wouldn't be the first time xD)? Also: could I use 5.5ph light soil for early stage and 6.0ph prefertilized soil for vegging (being the same brand of soil), or will this confuse (?) the plant?
I think both questions are also apliccable if I choose to use the GreenHouse Bio line (i'm not totally decided on this matter neither, he).
Cheers and thanks in advance for all your help!
