Low PH like 4.5 to 5. But plants look healthy in week 3 of bloom

Right ingredient, wrong measurement

I top dress with 1 tbsp per gal of soil. This is especially helpful with MG soils. They tend to get acidic when the nutrients are used up

I'd only use MG soil if I couldn't find hap frog or ocean .
MG from what i understand has timed release nutes, so in a 3-4 month grow its still releasing veg or nitrogens when you want the other

what do you guys think dolomite lime vs garden lime?
So is it 1 cup per gallon or 1 cup per cubic foot?
I think it is 1 cup per cubic foot, because that would mean 5 cups in a 5 gallon bucket.
Or 1 cup per cub foot means a gallon has 7.4 cubic feet per gallon right?

1CuFt=7.4 gallons

A 5 gallon container holds ~2/3 of a CuFt. and would need 10tbl of lime, NOT 5 cups.

Dolomite lime is best, but Garden Lime will work also, it's like a generic term since there are more than a few limestones used to make garden lime, dolomite is among them.

Wrong.... it generally runs out after 3-4 weeks with MJ... The plant tells you when to start feeding.
