Thanks -VT-

I'll just wait a bit more to find out about using dolomite lime. Since coco is good for hydro, methinks I'll go for the GH 3-peart.

Hey fellas.

Dolomite lime has worked well in my coco mix and also some good quality soil.
The cal/mag is slow release and is absorbed as needed. Its also very affordable...

LC’s Soiless Mix #1:
5 parts Coir
3 parts perlite
2 parts wormcastings or mushroom compost or home made compost
Powdered dolomite lime @ 2 tablespoons per gallon or 1 cup per cubic foot of the soiless mix.

first root check since i started these in coco.. these are young plants.. but starting to take off fast! st8 root Pr0n compared to soil..

Well, the tomato is now growing quite fast, the peppers still haven't shown much noticeable growth, but they aren't the fastest growing plants anyway. I also added a dwarf blueberry plant to the patio. Its more of a long term project though, it takes 1 year or 2 to mature and produce fruit. But it loves moist acidic conditions, aka coco coir, so I'm hoping for good results.

Haha, the one way to find out if it will work is do it huh? The blueberry plant just arrived in the mail this morning, I tried to wash off the rootball (wasn't happening, the shit was in peat & the small roots weren't letting go of it) and got about 1/4 of the peat off & transplanted it to a fairly small pot with coco/perlite. Soaked it with the normal nute solution the peppers & tomato seem to be loving.

I'm interested to see how this plant is gonna do....mmm, blueberry dro errrrrr I mean 'dro blueberries

ive been thinking about ordering cloudberry seedlings - if they would survive the trip - they must really love coco since they grow in wet acidic bog areas and they also like good amounts of nutes

peace
