The liquid lime is calcium carbonate used as a ph up adjuster and also a source of calcium. It is part of my organic program I am using. I got the bright idea to use C02 water and bloom enhancer to use as part of my foliar feedings. Since the C02 water has a low ph I had to add a ton of ph up (liquid lime) this balanced the ph but left that residue. I am spraying with water with care. Heard clown juice is a foliar cleaner also.
