Yeah, mine isn't fast prilled... it's pelletized and you're right, LC, there's a difference. The pelletized breaks down really slowly.

I'm folding it in an apron, and tapping with a sledge, only takes a minute to get a cup or two. But it's hard to find the powered version here too.

DO NOT get this one..

Yikes
I just got that exact bag of espoma garden lime.
Why do you say do not use this lime specifically bostrom? Because you have to powder it, or is there another reason?

No, just the turning it into power thing, not a huge deal, all good other than that.

I used my coffee grinder
My old lady was not happy with the coffee this morning, but her pH should be dandy.
Now that I am out of my lurking hole, I would like to take the time to say thanks to the contributors to this site. You have helped me out immensly.

Garden Lime is a big yes. Quick Lawn Lime is a big no. That is what I remember from OG. The pellet form of lime is what's throwing folks off. Actually, I can see now, that it would be a benifit to have a slow buffer all the time until harvest, and a tea lime tonic every 2-3 weeks or less for immediate calcium needs. Hydrated lime or wood ash would work in flowering after the second half..........more opinions please?

bostrom155, I think you just asked the $64,000 question, and answered the million dollar answer...........Two brains are allways better than one. It's just like two birds in the brush are equal to one in the hand.............or holding a pure fucking REZDOG version.........un goddamn LIMITED, pit bull diesel..........

boss, seriously, LIME deficiency is in the category of overwatering. Actually they go hand in hand. But, lime is before water as soil is before air. Water is the conduit of energy, or the fast food service to the life force. Lime is the middleman or dealer of consesus pilot. Without a true marketteer, the three Musketeers would be blind!

Lime (Calcium Hydrate, Calcium Sulphate, Calcium Carbonate, Calcium PHOSPHATE............we are friggin chemists..........

stoneyhucker, that's 8 tablespoons per 8 gallons of soil mix then. I'd say that is pretty conservative, but starting a month ahead preparing the soil is probably why you can get away with using less dolomite lime pellets...........you think so? Do you give them any more lime say in a tea or drink of water at any time during veg or flower.
