I don't know enough about how dolomite lime works in the soil.
Interesting observations on the PH!
Interesting observations on the PH!
Here’s some interesting info! Maybe someone can make something of this.
So I take this combo Ph/soil moisture probe and take some samples.
Stomper and Kong register a Ph of 6.6 and 6.7 respectively.
On the right HBSS, the harder hit, I took a sample at the plant end and a sample at the far end. Plant end registered 6.7 and opposite end registered 7.0
On the Left HBSS, it registered slightly less than 6.7at the plant end and slightly less than 6.9. I know this probe isn't accurate, but it sure can show a trend.
Here's some thoughts:
The more normal ph is in the area where the lights couldn't heat the media as much with the plant shading that area.
The more normal ph is also in the area where the plant roots are VERY thick. I could feel the resistance on insertion of the probe vs very little on the opposite end

Could the heating from the black side out cover cause a reaction from the dolomite that flushed the system with too much magnesium?
Something changed the ph upwards up front.
