giving defoliation during flower a try

Yes lime buffers ph in soilles mediums like promix. It's a natural buffer what's so confusing? You didn't know that was the purpose of lime? Huh..
I just use it in soil, that's all. Other mediums I adjust the feed formula with PH up/down. I guess it's because I consider Promix a soil product, not soilless, which I guess is a technicality seeing as it is made from peat.

Chuck's right, cannabis is very pH tolerant regarding nutrient uptake. Adjusting your water source's pH is silly, a waste of time as soil has a powerful buffering effect. Adjusting your soil's pH mid stream is just plain dumb....make work.

Not that I use them but most if not all pro mixes and those offered by Sam's Club, Home Depot, nurseries, etc. are pH buffered to what most plants like - 6.5.

I have customers who u oyster shell in coco supp calcium for same purpose as lime in sphagnum it's also a source of magnesium not just used for buffering but that's another topic off discussion.
EVERY time you write something it's screwy. For starts, oyster shell is useless, it has no real world value since it can't be broken down into a salt that is available to the plant. It's listed on a package by the organic hacks as a marketing draw. "Wow, man, it's got oyster shell, bird feathers, eye of newt and guano...gots to be cool!"

Buffering? WTF are you drumming up now?

Damn u fuck corpses? My moms pussy must b nasty considering she died in 2006 that's cool though
That is some special shit you just shared. I assume you had a mother that died, and in all my fucking years of listening to nasty assholes, you just took 1st fucking prize with that one. She should have aborted you and done the world, and this site, a favor. Go the fuck away.

Powdered oyster shell is a primary source of calcium and when u use enzymes, bacteria and acids it breaks down into usable form by ur plants. Wtf r u talking about!

Yes lime used in sphagnum stabilizes nutrients because peat is acidic by nature it helps buffer your medium for nutrient uptake so ur ph in ur medium doesnt drift too low. Wait lemme guess i must be trying to sell dolomite lime cuz im lying or something now right?

Hey, assholes are assholes, that doesn't mean you should out asshole them. I had never seen the comment made by that dick about doing your mom, but I sure as shit read yours. Don't let fools make you contend with them. Walk away from them and don't play their shit, just like I am going to look out for your posts, and avoid them. Peace out.

Yeah promix does have lime in it because it buffers the acidity of the peats ph which is usually between 3.5 and 5.0 depending on what source of pest and what part of the bog they came from.

Peat aslo breaks down and decays during long veg and flowering times and will naturally drift upwards towards 5.8-6.0+ ph range which is why adding additional dolomite lime will help buffer and maintain more ideal ph ranges in your containers.

Chuck seriously just stfu u bring nothing to this planet you are a waste of sperm and egg. I really hope for this planets sake u dont procreate we have enough idiots using up our limited resources on this planet.

Actually i get alot of pm's people have been awesome on here. I actually came on here from people who asked me to come on here. Thats why ur continuously posting and responding to me if you dont care stop talkin to me you bring nothing to this planet. Thats why u will never be invited to any of the underground forums u need invites for esp thc farmers coveted forums which i know ur not allowed on because ur dumb as fuck and know absolutely nothing. And u will never here anyone on those forums talking about using jacks or dyna gro because they r bullshit nutrients. All big dogs stand by canna, advanced and h&g bcuz they are the top tier of nutrients and real serious growers who know their shit will tell u that. Maybe one day u will grow up and become a big boy in the game but u r far far away with ur primitive knowledge of cultivation basics. And u def shouldnt be posting in any advanced cultivation forums bcuz ur still a rookie, u aint earn ur stripes yet son, class is in session.

As in the "enzymes, bacteria and acids" in your snake oils? What are you talking about?

If I want lime I'll use dolomite.
