adding lime to soil w/ plants already in.(help needed)
whewwww...and i thought today was my day off -lol
I flushed all the plants w/ 2 more gallons of water(3 total now) w/ ph'd 6.8 water and by the last gallon the run off was 6.0-6.2...
Ill still post pics of them tomorrow during "light on" hours, now the soil is super drenched...im assuming it wont even be close to dry until saturday...should I wait until top 2-3 inches are dry or close to it before watering?
and the grow chart reads like this
(Day1) (day2) (day3) (day4) (day5) (day6) (day7)
Week1 100-200 100-200 100-200 100-200 100-200 100-200 100-200
week2 200-350 200-350 200-350 200-350 200-350 200-350 200-350
week3 350-500 350-500 350-500 350-500 350-500 350-500 350-500
week4 500-750 500-750 500-750 500-750 500-750 500-750 500-750

should i follow that?steezyd Reviewed by steezyd on . adding lime to soil w/ plants already in.(help needed) ok so Im using sunshine no.4 soil less mix(no nutrients in soil) and i tested my runoff after the first week of veg and the ph is 5.7-6.0...I would like it 6.3-6.6 but i didnt mix any dolomite lime into my soil like i probably should have...So what should I do to raise the ph? i know giving it higher ph'd water is a quick fix, but that doesnt seem the way to go, can i put some lime just at the top of soil?maybe 2 inches deep or so in certain parts and just continue to water? any advice would Rating: 5\"Just doing what I can, w/ what I got\"
