hello, I am starting several blueberry plants from seed. they have germinated and have been growing for roughly a week. I plan on growing 4 plants, (they're feminized) i have a 150w HPS bulb and 2 75w fluorescent 'cool blue' bulbs. the nutrients i am using are green light "super bloom" (for the phosphates) and miracle gro organic choice all purpose plant food (for the nitrogen). the tap water i have has a ph of roughly 8, which is much too high. my question is: should i buy distilled water and use the nutrients as directed (once a week) with watering as needed with distilled water, or use tap water and add sparse amounts of acidic nutrients (nitrogen while veg, phosphates while blooming) and use this mix continuously? also i have heard it works to use phosphates or a "super bloom" throughout the entire process; is this ture?
i apply using a spray bottle while my girls are still young as to not disturb them with steady wind flow with extraction fan venting directly outside
i use an organic soil mixture with roughly 75% organic potting soil, 5% sand, 10% perilite (however you spell it), 10% pre mixed potting mix.
all nutrients, water, and soil, (with exception of perilite and "super bloom) are 100% organic, and i would like to keep it as natural as possible (i know its an oxymoron seeing as i am imitating nature indoors)
any help would be appreciated. thanks
