    Does lime and fertilizer react negatively?

    My runoff was a little low so I wanted to add some dolomite lime to raise the PH, but I read somewhere it reacts negatively with certain fertilizers?

    Also if I decide to use it how much should I use? Last I heard was 2 tablespoons per gallon of soil.

    What is your soil ph before and after watering?

    Well I tested it today with a soil test kit and it is registering in at between 6.5 and 7. But the runoff from the last watering a couple days ago was in the high 5's. Maybe it was from their last feeding, I know tiger bloom is wicked acidic.

    Anyways, maybe about 3 1/2 weeks left so I wanted to give them some food one last time.

    6.5-7 is good... Your soil ph is much more important than your runoff ph...

    You can give nutes up to 10-14 days from harvest, just make sure you flush really well before harvest....

    Ok, thanks. I will definitely hold off on the lime then.
