Added some Dolomite to my Coco - Am I fucked?

Hey yall

I added some dolomite lime to my coco, not a lot, just a small pinch here or there to help supplement calmag. This is my first time in coco, clearly, so I got stuff mixed up and instead of CHARGING the coco with a mixture of calmag my monkeybrain thought it was okay to just amend the coco with a little bit of dolomite.

I don't think I added a lot but I definitely added enough to potentially cause problems...

What should I do? I just wasted a whole brick of coco and my babies are all comfy in their pots.

its not the end of the world, its basically cal-mag that help balance acidic soil. the only real problem with using it in soil is most ferts have sulfur in them, and the calcium in the soil will lock a lot of the sulfur up. so you can get calcium and sulfur deficiency, that gets worse the more you add. go light on the nutes for 2 or 3 weeks, then go back to adding cal-mag between feedings
