Dolimite grams per Gallon to fix Mg def...

[B. Friendly]

yo reading in GrowDoc's guide for Organic soil that you correct Mg def with dolimite but don't know how much to apply

I am assuming 2grams would work per gallon, but that's a serious guess

gonna feed em as soon as someone lets me know??????

Thanks in advance

it aint coke . i use tablespoons and 2 of them per gal . one might be enough if you plants aint heavy feeders. dolomite dont dissolve well so watering with it would take forever to give up its mg content. try epsom salts for quick fix. up to a tsp per gal. consider foliar if they aint flowering with epsom salts

an eightball should do ya LOL

I've added DL as a pH buffer (upwards)... at 1~2 tbl per gal... but that is to buffer up an acidic medium. At least I can attest that this is a 'safe' area... but will raise the pH a bit too, which stays in the medium for a bit... though can be flushed out. Pretty safe stuff bro.

i just tried mixing dolimite and now i know why we add it to lawns...

it does not break down, no matter how hard you mix, only gets ya milky water... lol

gonna buy some epsom salts

thanks MI

You might consider kmag for your Mg. "deficiency". Water soluble Mg as well as sulfur and potassium. Kmag is also known as langbeinite.

I usually will dissolve 1 tsp/ga of water. Usually if you use warm water, it will dissolve within an hour if you shake or agitate the container/jug.

Farm supply stores should have 50lb bags for $20-25.
FYI
but not everyone has one near them..

Two tablespoons of pulverized dolomite lime per gallon of soil mix. I believe approximate proportions will due fine.

BurnOne recommended this IIRC and it vastly improved my grows since then. There is a very good chance you won't have to worry about pH or Cal/Mag for the entire grow cycle.
