How much dolomite lime per litre/gallon of soil to raise PH by 1 point? Thanks!
kushinatorstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hi there! I overfed my plants a bit, which I think led to a sudden drop in soil PH as runoff is at 5.5 to 5.7. I will give it more water PHed to 6.6 to flush it, but also wanted to sprinkle some dolomite lime over the soil to raise PH. How much should I add to raise it by 1?

Hi mate, testing runoff while using soil is a little OTT and unneeded. Soil is a great buffer and as long as you art giving her 6-6.5 you should be fine. If you are seeing issues with your plant due to PH you may have to check your equipment. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing

Watering a auto seedling properly.If you have a seedling 1 week old in a 3 gal pot how do you water I hear watering till run off but wouldn't that be to much as the roots haven't reached the bottom yet? I also se people making a small circle around the seedling or others using spray bottles. I tend to over water.Feeding. Other

Calmag overdoseI was stoned and accidentally added way too much calmag to my distilled water when watering yesterday. I meant to add 2 ml into a gallon but instead added 20 ml. I poured 3 gallons of Distilled water through today trying to dilute. Am I screwed now? Is my plant going to die?Week 4

First harvestWelcome to the members. It will be my first harvest. How much time do you think you have left? I asked this question a week ago, but the flowers swelled up a lot in a week. Can you leave 2 more weeks? In such a case, should I start washing with only clean water with a pH?Buds. Other

Nutrient LockoutI'm guessing this is nutrient lockout. Yesterday they were thirsty, so I watered by usual two gallons of aquarium water, but added no other nutrients. It only seems like one plant is being affected. How long should I withhold any nutrients; should I dial back when I do resume?Week 8

High ppm in drainageI flushed coco two times with 8-10 litres with CalMag (200 ppm) and it does not help. You can see in my comments to the last weeks of the diary that it doesn't matter how much ppm I water the plant, it is always 2-3 times more ppm in drainage.What should I do?a year ago
