You can use it but do be careful, sense it is more fine its concentrated, it can compact easier, definitely dusty...and it is fast acting, maybe try on one plant first.
dolomite or calcitic lime is best

It's fine, but go easy because it will keep the pH buffered up if you use too much. Top-dressing scratched into the soil, or mixed in with everything else if you're making a from-scratch batch.

You can order dolomite lime off Amazon dude.. that's what I do anyway

Dolomite lime is not needed, just stick with lime unless you need Magnesium. Pulverized Is fine

Thank you ever one,I used 2 spoons ler gallon,and plants arlooking pretty good.

Are you using lime to increase your waters pH? Have you been using these nutes the whole grow without adjusting?

 

[Brazloko]

No,ph was between 6 and 7,the hole time,now that I start using tiger bloom ph went down to 4.5,well I don't think that would be any good for the plant ....that's why I why I end up the pulverized lime.

You must have very soft water.

Tap water in here is 6.5 to 7 ....is a grower paradise lol...

Damn! No filtration needed! It's a fishkeeper's paradise, too. I have to use RO for my special betta boys.

In veg stage I filter the water,with brings my ph up,once I add seaweed extract and big bloom ph is at around 6 and 7 .
