Here's the new dolomite I'm trying. It seems like since going to the led every grow I have is riddled with cal or mag troubles. So I'm trying this stuff at 4tbs per gallon to see if it helps. I sure hope it doesn't hurt lol.

Anyone have any input on this?

I think the dolomite is a good idea. Subbed up
If it works I'm stealin it! Be much easier than dealing with cal/mag liquid supplement.

I'm not sure how quickly it would be available to the plants.. maybe @Eyes on Fire could take a look and give some input as he knows a thing or two..

 

[Eyes on Fire]

ahh ok cool,so its a sweet lime ,so it'll be fine and available in your soil buffering(taking trace as it goes) in just under a week for an active soil or a lil over a week maybe.twill do nicely me thinks

 

[A-Train]

Then EoF I forgot to mention to prep I fill my pots with promix and the dolomite and water them a few times for a week or so before I plant. Hoping it will do as you said and activate in that time frame

 

[Eyes on Fire]

you should only need to water it once and plug it or tier into it.Ive yet to have an issue that way. by the time the roots are into the treated soil enough to matter the stuff should be bleeding and buffering out at that point.

but if you watered it a time or two and then plug the middle,thats fine too. but only once ,then a re moistening,shouldn't need a full watering after that to kick off the lime.should do fine imo

oh and i only know one thing LMAO not or two nope , lol just one.still not sure what that is yet but lol

 

[A-Train]

10 4 thanks for the input. As of now when I put a plant on straight water in the tent I mix the soil and dolomite mixture. I water the entire pot once then just enough to keep it a little moist until I chop ..... when I chop I have a seed that has been in a paper towel a few days. I plant directly into the 5 gal pots that have been moist. I'm hoping it'll have a nice neutral ph and have some early cal mag available. I'm hoping the mixture is right. Do you see any problems with the ratio of 4tbs per gallon of this stuff or is that about right?

I saw anywhere from 2 to 6 reccomended so I split the difference. I'm sure I'll still need my GO cal/mag in flower they really seem to eat that stuff up under the platinums

 

[Eyes on Fire]

4 Tbspoons eh? hmm, well if memory serves me right that,that is a 1/4 cup. 1/4 cup for 5 gallon mixed in a large batch is what i do and per 1.5CF bag of soil which is around 10 gallons depending on pot density of the soil,but for that 10 gallons I would normally add around a fat 1/2 cup or a 1/4 cup of each pellet and sweet lime powder as well. so you should be fine man.
