Whaaa?????

No 'Garden lime', oyster shell flour, Espoma, crab shell meal, or anything like that? Someone should at least have Espoma if you could find that designer dirt.

Espoma. My bad with the spalling.

It's an organic line widely available at either Lowes or HD, forget which. Top quality and inexpensive. Big bags of fertilizers and small bags of amendments, like blood, bone, kelp meals and garden lime.

Google it, there is probably a 'locater' that will tell you who carries the line in your area.

Do some looking.

my area is aruba man...............................far from the states.......lol
Then you're sitting on it. LOL I'm from SoFl which is mostly oolitic limestone, ancient coral reefs. Aruba should be much the same. Get a chunk and crush it up.

Grow in dirt the ph and ppm runoff isn't what it really is!
I have 3 babies in ffof they were water once when they
were transplanting a week ago with just enough water to
get'em going. A week later I water a whole gallon of plain
ph'ed water i got just enough water to test. It's 1 week old
soil I shouldn't have to flush or add lime, should I? I'm not add or
flushing nothing! Cause they look great maybe drooping some but
1 been drooping ever since it was transplanted I may of damage some
roots! Topped'em 2 days ago!

thats friggin messed up because last week they were TOO green and people were telling me i had too much nitrogen so ive been watering with plain water for a week. going back to feeding tomorrow as it is watering day and ill see if it helps. as far as the lime goes im pretty sure its too late in my grow for that?? but i will be adding it to my soil next run.
Ph up. Add as directed.
