Proper amount of Dolomite for pro-mix

[skylined]

I am using Pro-Mix BX / perlite as my mixture, in two gallon pots. How much dolomite lime is appropriate for this pot size?

Probably 1 to 2 tablespoons per gallon. I would go light and use 1 tablespon per gallon .

That would definitely explain the high pH nute lockout then....3 heeeaapping tablespoons was def too much esp when I didn't mix it well. Oh well, live and learn.

Thanks Mackawber.

Remember a Table Spoon is a 'levelled' Table Spoon, not heaping, but I guess you figured that out already. I usually use 2 Table Spoon's per gallon and have good luck with that.

Skylined,i use promix,i only use one tab/gal of soil because it does have some in it already,the only thing i dont like about it is how light it is,after tranplants i dont give them lots of wind until 3-4 days later.Transplanting right before the dark period is suppose to be good.Dont feel bad i used lawn lime one time without breaking it up;well they didnt last long,but the good thing is you'll never make that mistake again.
