If you dont go for thePM CalMag then the dolomite lime, get a kilo bag for about £7 and it will last a couple of years. You dont need much, couple of oz in 50l bag of soil mixed in well before use and a light sprinkle 3 weeks into flowering if your plants show signs of needing it

Plus, you can use it in your garden too

[paul_led_126pro]

so its either lime or the pm cal mag ?not both ?

6 of one and half a dozen of the other @paul_led_126pro

 

Peat based composts have a natural tendency to go acidic, ie : for their ph to drop over time. If you amend your soil at the start using lime as an additive it helps to prevent this, while also providing Mg for the plants, meaning fewer problems during the grow and less need to start ph up and downing. But, there are strains and setups (such as LED's or water in certain areas) that seem to need more Ca, so it's always handy to have something like CalMag in stock so that when, or if, the Calcium def rust spotting occurs you can give them an instant fix if needed.

 

It all depends if you are going down the 'let the soil do the work' or 'get them on a feeding schedule' method of growing. As you seem to be veering towards the 'feed them' method, then the Plant Magic range (developed for UK water/growers) sounds like the way to go

I did thinking about getting some better soil but as I am doing autos potting en up doesn't seem like the best bet for them
As its recommended you start em in Thier final pots .

So starting em off in light soil and feeding em seemed like the best answer but what do I know lol

Best to get them in the soil (or a jiffy) as soon as the roots are out @paul_led_126pro

 

The longer you leave them exposed to the air the more chance of them being damaged, dried or contaminated in my book

 

[paul_led_126pro]

cheers gb , ill get em in their airpots very shortly , then streight in the tent ?

Tents fine but you won't need the full lighting monty paul and just keep your eye on them, maybe stick them in a propagator until they are up then with the vents open until they've got some true multi-fingered leafs out.
