Am I screwed? I went to the store need dolimite lime...grabed a bag said lime on it. I transplanted 5 girls in foxfarms, and used about a tbl spoon per 7gallon buckets. As Im reading the bible to day(my pot book ) I was lookling at soil chapter and ...shit I see in the corner dont use quick lime its toxic. On the bag it says its good for Veg/herb gardens among other things. so am I screwed...to I flush? or transplant into diffrent soil or what. Thanks for any help in advance.

Was it Hydrated Lime (slack lime) or Quicklime? These are very different minerals. Looking at the label what is the active ingredient? Either way the small amounts used shouldn't effect them in that size container. No need to panic.
