he is well worth watching even though you're the man.
From Dr. Bruce Bugbee: "You add dolomitic lime just once when the media is mixed. The release rate is gradual, usually 7 to 21 days. Long term pH control depends on the bicarbonate in your tap water. and the ammonium/nitrate ratio in your fertilizer."
Thanks for the reply Mr.Grow ItBuy in a general sense barring going over 7 PH in an RO water with A very low PH can it be used as a supplement as it has many other nuts in it or is it best to use only for low PH in your soil fgor instance and if used in the water blended in with other nutrients or (is prefffered by itself) can you skip other nutients that have the same makeup. Hope not to confuse you as I am also confused.
The pH can drift up very easily using garden lime so be careful. It can drift up over 7.0 which will negatively impact some nutrients from being uptaken.
