I use a large container big enough to mostly submerge a fabric pot full of soil. I fill the container with water that has about 1 level teaspoon per gallon of DOLOMITE Lime. I partially submerge the fabric pots and pour to the top of soil and let it seep through for a few minutes. Then I raise it out of the water and let it drain for a few days them mix whatever addatives you normally add like bone meal and/or some form of manure. This is what needs to be done to recycle PEAT based soils. THis is because peat produces acid as a by product when feeding plants over time. This acid locks feeding out. All the readily available $$ cannabis nutes and calmags create acid. Peat is very acidic to begin with Dolomite Lime can be used GENTLY to create the proper feeding zone in peat. I don't get too technical just go extra gentle and in the non frozen months I dechlorinate my water in a new trash can with a lid over time. I sweeten this water with about 1/8 teaspoon or less of Dolomite. This becomes my base water that I add nutes to for gallon batches for flower or veg, this never failed me and never got brown leaves in flower that normally occur at 4th week of flower in peat moss based soils.Two totally different Lymes. Not even related. And it has more to do with the minerals than the Ph. I dont even read my ph anymore. I just add a little lime water when they get into flower.
