any idea where i can pick that up? :) and plants looking good and smelling good :D
Hydro store or garden center bro. I could only find it in 40-50 pound bags. It was only like 13$ though. Cheap investment that could potentially save a grow or two!

careful with those big bags man, some of that is not dolomite lime, its a different variety and is formulated for lawns and can be much more harsh than actual dolomite lime

aj, ment to ask you, since i just found your journal today and gave it a quick look are those big devils planted off to one side of the pot? or is that just the picture angle? wasn't sure if you were planning to LST those plants do to height concerns or to try and increase yeild.

Mine is for lawns and shit. It's agricultural dolomite lime with cal/mg. Got it from the hydro shop. Was assured it was what I wanted for my particular application by the hydro guy (experienced grower). Hydrated lime CAN be dangerous to work with. Some growers use that also, as it is faster acting. But I wouldn't Fuck with it.

I'm in the states bro. But the brand I used was spartans speedi-grow. If you can't find a hydro shop, hit up a garden center and see what they have. This time if year they may have it put away still for winter, but I'm sure they would grab a bag for ya if they have it.
