adding lime to soil w/ plants already in.(help needed)
that looks like it's a hydro feed chart. not positive though. what nutes are you actually using? it looks like they sale different brands on that site.
like i said, you should be feeding once, maybe twice a week (depending on strength). if you feed everyday you will over feed and over water. your PPMs aren't nearly important in soil as it is in hydro. in one feeding you can push your PPM to 2000 or 2200 (give or take). some strains are more tolerant to high PPMS, some are not. you might be able to push it a bit higher, but do it gradually.
good growing!
-shakeheadshake Reviewed by headshake 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
