Thansks for your replies. Well, I went ahead and used a tsp of calcium hydroxyde on each bucket. Tomorrow I will measure the ph. What I observed until now, is that a bucket with three plants (the ones from the pictures) are showing something different. The tops are a little bend down, but just a...
OK, thanks. So just distrubuite it evenly and not cover with soil. OK, I will do it in two days, the next watering.
Thanks again for everything. I will go online in two days, to see maybe you can reply about 13/11 . I read on books that it's OK, but I just want to double check.
btw, is lemmon juice better then vinegar? It's natural.
IAm5toned : I deserve it, but I didn't lnow what lime is. And I was in the hurry on the guerrilla wireless internet I am using. I am too paranoid to use the home one. I am also paranoid to order stuff online, or to visit the only grow...
airflow is assured by a big centrifugal fan trough a carbon scrubber. But only in the light time. In the night the fan is off, because it would be to cold inside the box.
I will be carefull.
So how much should I use? I have 6 gallon pots. I should put 1/2 inch of calcium hydroxide? and then cover it with 2 inch soil. I have space since the soil shrinked a little (normal).
And after that I should continue to use the PH 6.4 balanced water? I am used to add...
I think calcium hydroxide is good, but I need confirmations pleas. Also please help me decide if 13light/11dark is also ok? will it triger flowering? I read that yes but I just want to make sure. I don't want lower the yeld on Lowrider.
Thanks

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolostone
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_(mineral)
maybe this way I have better luck finding.
lime is calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide
thanks. Any advices on how can I raise the PH in soil with household (grocery store) items. I googled the lime, and I can't find it here. Maybe I can find ph adjusters for aquarium, will these work in soil?
Also I need your advices on another point, I have a lowrider in six weeks and the...
OK, thanks for your replyes. I will try to find the lime, if it's available at grocery store.
One way or another, if PH in the soil is 5.2 now, I guess water at 7.5 is not doing that bad? Or should I continue to use white vinegar, every time I water. As I read here it's ok...
