How long did you cook it for May? Sounds like it is a bit 'raw' still. 2 tbs of dolomite lime per gal should be plentyAlright guys have a issue, my soil run off is near 4, its newly made soil and it is for vegging plants, should I take plants out and redo soil? What woild be a good rhing to raise ph and keep it there? It has dolomite lime and Oyster shell added, would I have to add more?
perfectly timed fade it seems too. Killer work as always mate!!SBD x FB. Assorted phenos.

How much peat's in your mix? What is the mix? Think you'll be fine on the lime with the oyster shell, and whatever else you added. Peat will leach tannins. I never check run off.Alright guys have a issue, my soil run off is near 4, its newly made soil and it is for vegging plants, should I take plants out and redo soil?

Are you going by the Rev's mix? It does call for adding a high amount of lime. I cooked my mix for 100+ days. When I was mixing things together I had to read it a few times to believe it.This is in a peat moss mix, I just read that you want to add 1-1.5 cups per 5 gallons? If this is correct then im way off. I may be using a 1/3 per 5 gallon.
If you have *good* homemade vermicompost you could probably get away with a generous top-dress of just that. If not, you can go to Home Depot and pick up some calcium carbonate (Lily Miller Sweet) and some garden gypsum. Then add equal parts of both to ewc or soil and top dress. This will take a bit to correct itself doing it that way. In the interim you could add some calmag at 5-10ml per gallon to straighten it out some as well. I went too light on liming agents on my first batches of soil too. The girls looked a little neglected for a while but the crops turned out nice in the end.Alright guys have a issue, my soil run off is near 4, its newly made soil and it is for vegging plants, should I take plants out and redo soil?

Is there anything EWC CAN"T do?! I am amazed over and over again. Take St0w's advice May. EWC does seem to work for everything. It is pure health shat out by worms.If you have *good* homemade vermicompost you could probably get away with a generous top-dress of just that.
