Thanks @archie gemmill

@archie gemmill think I’ll just stick with Roots Organic soil and my nutes. I’ll just continue to check ph going in after mixing nutes and going out. I think like you said keep it simple makes it simpke

@archie gemmill bybthe way I’ll be germinating 3 seeds on December 28 as I promised wifey I would wait and don’t you know that this is killing me

Once up I will start a journal and hope you join me for the ride

I just found this while reading an old blog from Build A Soil and figured I’d post it:

“DOLOMITE LIME: As a rule, don’t use Dolomite lime, regardless of what you may have read in various gardening books, unless you are sure that you need Magnesium. (We don’t need any more magnesium in our mix, I promise) Dolomite is a high Magnesium limestone. Using dolomite will tighten the soil, reducing air in the soil and inducing anaerobic alcohol fermentation or even formaldehyde preservation of organic matter rather than aerobic decomposition, No Dolomite, it’s awful for your soil, especially with the alternatives available like gypsum.”

Thanks @DTOM420 excellent article and helpful post

Gracias, Señor!

I overdid it on some Dolomite and the soil tightened up and caused stunting. So, I’ve dropped it completely. MUCH better sources of calcium and magnesium and pH balance can be achieved with ag lime. Glad it helped you out!

I understand @DTOM420 ill just keep it simple and check ph every time I prepare nutrients.

Thanks man
