Let me lay out the scenario first-
10-12 week sativas outdoors in pots half buried in the bog. Promix, EWC, Perlite, Mychorrizae and Espoma Garden Lime (Pelletized)...
I am seeing early symptoms of "praying for Mg", and the plants have lost the healthy rich green color despite Maxicrop and light 8-3-1 guano top dressings... Also, the soil has been fairly wet for some time due to the storms we've been having every other day- another complication...
I'm beginning to think I don't have enough lime in the soil mix and/or it's breaking down too slow and/or it wasn't evenly distributed in the soil mix...
Based on BurnOne's recommendation (and the fact that pounding lime pellets get's old fast) I scored some Soil Doctorx Pulverized Garden Lime- a finely screened dolomitic lime product- 40lbs for less than $4.00 USD- Oh, how I love those old time hardware stores!
What I want to do is make some homemade CalMag in a gallon jug. Should I just put 2 T Lime in warm water and shake well perhaps a pinch of kelp and guano???
What is the correct dosage for 5-6 gallons of soil in containers??? Remember, some lime is already in there- but it's slow release...
What is the retail version of Cal-Mag made of anyway???
Any help appreciated...
