Lime Questions

Hi All

I never used dolomate lime before and wanted to try it out on next grow.
My questios are -How long will the 1 lime application last for in a grow and how fast does it start to effect or work in the soil?

If you add enough then it should last your whole cycle, and you wanna get the powdered shit cause it kicks in faster. The pellets take months to start to break down and work.. Good choice on using the lime

What are you using it for? to lower PH?

i've been getting a few different ph readings in my ffof soil this grow. I us a hanna digital meter. This grow has gone well with a few ph probs and thought that with the lime in the soil -plants medium wil be ok next time round. I've been reading that a lot of people are have similiar issues with ffof being unstable. Allways ph water to 6.5- run off is usualy at 6.6-this is y i'm leaning towards my meter as the problem. Harvesting this week of Sensi BB Going to replace batts for next grow.

Lime raises your ph not lowers it

Your using sensi bloom? that stuff will drop your ph to really low lockout levels
