you add powdered dolomite to your water its fast acting and effective. my ph meter i think is off as well and as well all know dolomite has trace elements of mag

The solubility of CaCo3, MgCo3 in water at a normal pH is VERY VERY low.if you currently have a Ca or a Mg defficiency and want to fix the problem right away you should be using a highly soluble form as in kany of the CalMag hydroponic solutions on the market.

I don't have a calmag problem i did but was fixed with epsom salts, now i'm currently stuck with this droopy syndrome and have added the powdered dolomite to my watering solution and watered minutes ago. I''l keep y'all updated

You gave them more water and they perked back up?

so after all that and a 3-5 undeciperhable pH its all cause you did not give enough water ?

LOL.

those moisture meters are pretty cheap, like under 10 bucks at home depot, but honestly, after a few weeks of using it, you can easily get a good feel by the weight of the pots for when they need watering.

Oh but there's a major difference between those crappy moisture meters and the tensio meter I'm talking about. And no, not even the most experienced grower out there can beat this tensio meter by feeling the weight of the pot throughout the entire cycle.

It's like an artificial root and anyone who grows on soil and uses it won't ever grow without it again (but instead buy one per pot so you don't have to switch, you'll earn it back easily per plant, plus you'll save a load of water). It's a game changer especially for beginners (so they don't spoil their first grow by over watering as most do). So many people looking to increase their yield using various (desperate almost) measures while optimal watering makes all the difference - start there.

I'll shut up about it now because I mentioned it a few times in these forums already and a. I'm not sure they are delivered (at reasonable rates) to the US and b. I don't want to sound like I'm advertising their stuff. It made a huge difference for me and many others (fairly standard equipment in Dutch growers forum since 5-6 years).

Yup, suprisingly.

I'm using a cheap meter that measure p.h., soil moisture, and light all in one. I don't think its very accurate anymore so i'm going to try something new. I appreciate the info!

My PH was low, the plant was showing signs of mag/cal def because of the nute lockout probably caused by the low ph. So i boosted it with epsom salts for a short-term solution and have moved to powdered dolomite lime.

One question with powdered dolomite lime do i need to dissolve it in hot water before adding it to my water solution?
