Calcium and magnesium have everything to do with ph. They are ph buffers and the number 1 ingredient in Dolomite. Agricultural Lime is a compound made from Calcium Carbonate and Magnesium Oxide. Calcium and magnesium are elements on the PTE. Though plants don't use them in their elemental form.
You have to use cal mag in hydro. I'm pretty sure the dolomite pellets will get stuck in a pump or sink to the bottom.

I'm pretty sure this is 'unknown' from outdoors earlier this year.
And I had put up the ingredients in my soils there Jim. I ammend my soils with alot of organic goodies. As far as calicum,, I use bone meal for a slow release
Here's whats in the base soil.
Regionally formulated blend of bark plus: Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss, Compost, Forest Products, Perlite, Pumice, Cinders, Vermiculite, plus Dolomite Lime and Controlled Release Fertilize
But your not telling me anything new about the lime, I used to use a soil tester on any native soils I ever use, and if I have a problem with ph, I do have a bottle of this on hand. I really haven't had to worry about ph in soils since I grew in New Mexico. Man talk about nightmare soils off the charts...
Nowadays almost every main named soil is pretty much stabilized. And I've been able to not have to worry about ph. Matter a fact I haven't touched my pen in years. Shit been like 10 years since. I don't even have to worry about PHing my cloner waters. Now I do understand all water isn't created equal. And I've grown weed from Fla. to Cali, and everywhere in between. And yes,, its hard to get those pellets thru the pumps........ Keepem Green

Jaga.... I have grown afew plants out in smaller pots, 1 gallon',, smaller root ball equals smaller plant. I use 5 gallon finish pots. You can look around and find alot of people are growing finished plants in dixie cups. Of Course they didn't yield crap,, but it does work. You'd have to get a well rounded fertilizer schedule seeing there woodn't be much values in the soil that won't be depleted soon by the plant.
Yea this lumps a bitch. The 25th they cut it out and look around for the primary source of the cancer. I hate doctors,, and here me and Miss J have tons of them going on. 2-3 a week. Sucks... Thanks for the well wishes....... Keepem Green

Most soils in the east coast and Canada are sphagnum peat. Ph varies from 5.5 to 7.0. There are cases that if you grew your plants in the wrong version of ProMix it would kill your plant as it matured. The old ProMix Potters Blend is one of them with a ph of 5.5 and no lime buffers...the time release fertilizer keeps your soil at 5.5. Great for petunias...horrible for Cannabis.

I have to use pro mix every once in awhile,, when I can't find the gold. I've used like 3 different kinds and hate all of them. Now if you don't mind having to water everyday,, and feed alot more. I used that HP once and man she held no water. I can see where it wood be great from a top drip. It's so airy the roots love it. Great for a aggressive growth. But it dosen't support larger plants well. Unforgiving shit. Least with black gold, after the starter charge of ferts is gone,, it does hold fertilizer values well. So if you can't feed them every once in awhile,, it's ok.
Thats one place I haven't been was up north of the Mason Dixie Line, on the east coast much. I've never grown there at all. I did acouple fips in Florida. And flew outta New York onroute to France once. Also went to run to Stone Mountain Ga. Very Pretty country,, except for all that red clay. But that was even pretty. Keepem Green

Fast update..I snuck a pic of the Red LT I grew last time.
Then I had to up pot her so I went out to the greenhouse looking for a pot,, and I can't find the damn thing.......... I mean the greenhouse....
It's out there somewhere... But I'm going to wait on the transplant..... Take that any bugs left in the yard.... Keepem Green

To test runoff.
Fill planter with ph tested water until it runs out the bottom.
Test runoff. Runoff should read 6.5.
If you want to self correct your ph use Dolomite. Ignore what ppl say about cal-mag liquid. Cal mag has a high absorption rate and will only correct the problem for a few days. Dolomite pellets are placed as a top feed (on top of the soil) and will buffer your ph to 6.5 every time you water.
Dolomite is $9 a kilo. Cal mag is $35 for 500ml. Dolomite is what professional horticulturist use.

Morning NCW! Dont meant to have your thread blown up with my pics and problems.
With all Fox Farms powder and liquid trio do I still need to add the Dolomite?? Im guessing yes? I was looking at Angry Birds links and I also have a calcium Def? I cant remember which. My S.Diesel fan leafs sure did yellow and dead looking. I also had the rust looking speckles. I want to stay with FF for simplicity and want to ammend it but still not sure with what. This is my next road block!! Or should I switch nutes? The guy at the grow shop says FF has all I need and big time growers use it.
Oh I remember...... the leafs in this pic are APHIDS!!!! You should see the laundry now!!!! A few G.Cleaner sprays and theyre beautiful!!!
NCW, I saw the snow in Portland on the news, I bet your digging out your car! Stay warm my brother and thankyou for all your help!!!!
Great day to ALL!!

Aphids my brother. Thats what it is . The new growth is wonderful and worthy of a pic. Soon. I hope all is well with you and yours! Peace. Oh I use FF Ocean Forest soil. Now the dead leafs on the end of the S.Diesel im guessing its cause I stopped the nutes 3 weeks before the harvest and maybe too soon. So there was a deficiency on the end. I can tell and Ive read where FF gets absorbed and used fast by the plant. Oh, I bought some Happy Frog for the sprouts and its got chunks of WOOD in it which I dont like!!
Great day NCW from one WOOD to another!

I would add it. You can't hurt your plant with half a handful a month. I can't get fox farms here but I've replied to several forums that are have bug/pH problems with FF products.
ProMix sells a brand that you just add water to through veg. No nutrients till bloom.

Thats how Ocean Forest is supposed to be according to some people but too strong for sprouts. FF schedule has you feeding Big Bloom from the beginning cause I think it helps the roots. The Dolomite is on the list. Thank you.

So your Peckerwood too Dutchess? I graduated from Quentin, Folsom, and Pelican Bay collages. About the lime,,, it couldn't hurt. But I'd still keep some cal/mag on hand. Marijuana uses alot of Calcium in it's lifetime. It's the most common deficiency plants get. Alot of misdiagnosis about it. Here's a little read about it;
The most acidic solution is pH 1. A level of pH of 7 is neutral and a pH of 14 is the most alkaline solution. For several reasons the pH has a profound effect on the cannabis plants. Various plants live under different pH levels, they have adapted to this. In hydroponic solutions marijuana grows with a low pH of 5.5. Marijuana grows best in water or soil with a pH level between 6.0-6.5 (slightly acidic). Good garden soils consist of this pH level. In this range the plants nutrients are water soluble. This means that the nutrients are available to the marijuana plants. When the pH level is outside of this range, the nutrients become less available because the nutrients won’t dissolve as well.
I really don't think it's ph problem. You did cut her food supply off alittle early. I feed mine up to the last week then flush and water with alittle molasses for the rest. Depends on where you read,, even 7 isn't unacceptable. You can get like Jim said some PH test strips. Great for back up and checking your pen.Take alittle soil and put in a cup of RO water and see also.
Those old sun leaves had a ruff life early right? I've found as they get older,, and damage caused from spraying even real early in flower will show up. Every bug bite and water splash shows. Now like said I've not had a ph problem, using soil and I do understand what happens in lockouts when you get them outta wack, but I'd think it's show more than on the afew old growth fan leaves. I never cared for that soil myself. Or the fertilizers,, except that trio of beasty-open-cha ching stuff. They are costy, I switched to GH's Dry Kool Bloom. More cost effective and works right in my line of fertilizers. I've been using GH's Flora Nova for my last 3 grows, and I'm loving it. That last grow,, the Mind Cantrol' I have hard core growers cranking out top shelf for some of the local stores who smoked it, and all said was WOW.. Can I get a cut. I didn't tell them what it was, but this one dude has a Blue Dream he's been growing for the last 10 years that's crazy off the hook, is trying hard to get a cut.... I'll break down later and work one with him. Great plant. Good yield and fine smoke. Even I can feel it abit. And thats strange..... Hope all's good out there,,, Keepem Green

Hey Dutchess I don't mind posting pics, problems and questions... That's how it works,,, ask and you'll get ideas. We do have this internet and a wealth of info on it. Almost to easy with it... But anything you want to say all good...
Fast little update. I almost never have to feed anything in veg,,, but due to a EWC shortage,, they got hungry. Maybe the cold? So I broke down and fed them. I have 3 teenagers in there. Crippled Rino, Red Lt, and a Mind Cantrol. Along with 4 seedlings,,, including a Jack Herer and a new one Candy. Here's the hungry orphan;
