SOIL How to use ProMix HP

[Stevepmd]

Hello,
I have been using Promix HP I was told forom the hydroponics store where I purchased it from that there is 100% no nutrients in it. Im using the General HYdroponics FloraGro, Micro and bloom.
After I add the 3 part mix I Use PH down to make it 6.0.
Now I have been having problems with the plants big time something is very wrong.
So I flushed one of the plants and I tested the run off water for PPM & PH and the PPM was over 3000 and the PH was comming out not to bad 5.8. Now I did a test with the Promix HP I filled up a fabric pot and ran plan water at 6.0 through it and tested the PPM it was over 1500? and the PH was comming out lower so how should I be using the Promix.
Any tips would be a big help.

Hello Stevepmd, The easy way to understand your promix is that it is not soil as you think. It has no nutes, does not retain water like real soil. I would PH your water to 6.5 PH and flush till 6.5PH comes out.
Then water/feed with your nutes and cal-mag. PH water after all nutes added to 6.5PH and continue that based on what I have researched. So many questions about its use but very few answers. I've herd it used here on the forum and sure someone will jump on board to help from experience. That's a start in a good direction . Good Growing !!

I use promix to start my veggies, for not having any nutes in it the roots really take off and I will mix it in my outdoor soil
