5.8 is fine. In soiless medium 5.5 to 6.5 is in the zone. I am careful with starts....6.2.

And I don't drink Kool aid....dogster. Also do you use r/o water. You must us tap because plants need calcium and magnesium. If you don't add it they are getting it somewhere........

Yep, they do. My well water is rich in calcium and I add "foot soak" for magnesium.
Never could see the reason for RO in my situation. Why remove stuff just to put it back in?

That is a good point. Before I got my r/o system I used tap water that had sat overnight to let some chlorine dissipate and there is no difference in my plants. The only reason I use my r/o system is because I paid for it so I use it.

I also use glacial dust and Epsom salt as additional supplements.
I talk dirty to mine and that seems to help. 
Ph out of faucet is 8+ where I am. Ro comes out 6.8 ish.....if you saw and smelled what is left iny distiller, you would not consume tap water. I don't feed that trash to my pets.
Weird how that actually works..........straight tap water.
Here it's well water in fl. it was city water.
Now lets talk about why you are adjusting cannabis specific ferts.........that's the real conversation.

Those links show the chemical contents of jacks pro,perlite and peat.
Also shows why it works and that the assumptions being made regards "cal-mag" are just that.........assumptions.
- 70–75% silicon dioxide: SiO2
- 12–15% aluminium oxide: Al2O3
- 3–4% sodium oxide: Na2O
- 3–5% potassium oxide: K2O
- 0.5-2% iron oxide: Fe2O3
- 0.2–0.7% magnesium oxide: MgO
- 0.5–1.5% calcium oxide: CaO

Lets assume that's correct(it's not)then why are you using g them incorrectly?
Buy those ingredients, remove cal and mag by leaving them out. Proceed....your assumption will fall apart?

Well there you go.....I don't use Jack S-hit....oh I. Mean Jacks...ha ha!
You just answered your own question. Your method works for you enjoy your superior method!
The other reason is, I have money, and full well intend to spend every cent before I go!
Sam's club always tries to talk me into saving money by getting their credit card. I tell them the same thing and ask if they have one that costs more? Usually have the line is cracking up!

I have seen your plants and they are beautiful. Can't argue with success. But I will continue forward doing my thing. Gotta go and cut the grass. You wouldn't want to have a contest on who has the nicest lawn would you?????
