hey guys, i'm about to start my 4th grow. I've always had probs with finding a good medium with the right ph and everything. this time i bought canna bioterra plus, which is a coco choir and peat moss medium prefertilized with bat guano and bone meal(it's supposed to be ph adjusted but i'm gonna use some lime just in case)...i think this might be too hot to start my seeds in it right??? i was thinkin about sprouting my seeds in another mix i have wich is agro mix pro. peat based mix and transfer them in the bioterra after a few weeks would that be ok. what ph would you recommand for a coco choir and peat based medium. anyone here tried this BIO TERRA PLUS by CANNA??? And also i'm using advanced sensi 2 part nutrients (and i have some cal-mag), is there any pro with using those in that kind of medium??? Shoul i consider this medium as soil or soilless, since it's all organic (not the nutes though), i thought only a soil mix could be organic, i'm so lost please help guys???

thanks a lot

ok so now i know my mix is a soilless. so i'm gonna try and adjust the ph to 5.9ish. the bag of bioterra says the ph is at 5.5-6.5 but i think i'll still add a little lime in there cuz of the peatmoss. is a medium with bone meal and blood meal too HOT for seedlings?
