wifebeaters are tanktops!!!!!!!!

...Hmmmmm, good thing you flushed, and even still, the pH is too low,... should below to mid 6's for Promix,... tell you what, next watering, don't pH it, let it go in as is,... some hardness will help add buffering from the additional CaCO3 in solution,.. and you feeds, pH to 6.5 or so,... yes, pics please! :thumbsup: .. as for the dolomite, here's the deal: dolomite is the slowest acting of all the carbonate type limes (most are CaCo3, with variable amounts of MgCO3-- limestone!), oystershell, etc., because of a different molecular arrangement in the molecule,... powdered is best, but granular is really too slow to be of use except for long term, which in some cases, is pointless with autos! It just takes too long to break down and release,... Ag' lime, garden lime, oyster shell powder, these will work faster in the time scale for auto's, if you had photo's, dolomite would be okay for the longer haul,... The most immediate acting lime is hydrated lime, Ca(OH)2, but is powerful and not to messed with unless absolutely necessary and you know what you're doing with it! Fortunately, you're not there,... Good to heat progression has slowed,... it won't reverse though, so halting is as good as it gets,...

...Dude, you recall what I said at Live Stoners,... :eek1: -- certain handles will draw the the wrong reactions, plain and simple,...
I think my new name will be hail Hitler.
Kidding.
:doh: being a smart-ass isn't going to help or make your case, guy! Fair and logical reason was given, by me in particular, for why name changes are requested/mandated at times,.. the point is not about how you feel, but how they react-- and they will!-- and AFN not tolerating any trolly-BS, period,.. it's what separates us from the other wasteland forums, and always will... We will defend this vigorously too...For example: we had some fuckhead here a while back going by the name of the Colorado movie theater killer! :pimphand: Imagine the shitstorm that brought! He had the gall to claim it was his real name--after the fact? And using one's actual name in the first place?? Common fucking sense should have told him it was a dipshit-grade idea, but he did it anyway, and got hosed,.. and eventually bounced face first off the e-curb from here... Censorship, free speech, blah blah blah-- this is an International forum, and USA constitutional policy doesn't apply in the least,... So, that's that....
....Anyway :crying: the new one is comedy! The chubby guns-- My Little Ponies!! :rofl::rofl::rofl:
 
Well, now you tell me!
Cal/Mag and Silica raises your PH through the roof, so you want to add that first, so the nutrients can help buffer them. You will still need to ph down your feed/water but make sure when you add each individual ingredient, you thoroughly mix, BEFORE you add another. Chelation or bonding of ions is what we are after. Add cal/mag, mix, add silica, mix, add nutues, mix, add additives, mix. In other words, take your time and mix! Your plants will thank you for it later!
definition-
Chelation (pronounced /kiːˈleɪʃən/) is a type of bonding of ions and molecules to metal ions. It involves the formation or presence of two or more separate coordinate bonds between a polydentate (multiple bonded) ligand and a single central atom.[1][2] Usually these ligands are organic compounds, and are called chelants, chelators, chelating agents, or sequestering agents.

Chelation is useful in applications such as providing nutritional supplements, in chelation therapy to remove toxic metals from the body, as contrast agents in MRI scanning, in manufacturing using homogeneous catalysts, and in fertilizers.
 
Briman, I believe you just elevated my game, and just in time for my next "grow season"! Thanks.
