It is made of <strong>magnesium and calcium<\/strong>, and although it has been used throughout history for chemical or construction purposes, it is now in <strong>high demand<\/strong> <strong>among growers<\/strong> due to its characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This mineral was discovered by French geologist D\u00e9odat de Dolomieu. Dolomite honors his name. It comes in lots of different colors: white, gray, red, pink, or even black, and its composition includes 30% calcium, 20% magnesium,<strong> and 50% carbon dioxide.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dolomite is frequently found in sedimentary rocks. It is formed by the mixture of water that is rich in magnesium with calcium deposits. This process is called <strong>dolomitization<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before being part of the cultivation world, this material was part of the metallurgy and ceramic industry. It is also a <strong>valuable resource for collectors<\/strong>, especially in its less frequent shapes when it creates large crystals.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growbarato.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Dolomita-para-marihuana.jpg.webp\" alt=\"dolomite for marijuana\" style=\"width:600px;height:453px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_dolomite_provide_to_a_marijuana_crop\"><\/span>What does dolomite provide to a marijuana crop?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dolomite has been used on marijuana crops as a <strong>complementary material <\/strong>for years. This mineral features certain properties that make it ideal for any grow, such as pH regulation, secondary nutrients, or soil improvement, among others:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It\u2019s a <strong>pH regulator<\/strong>. Dolomite turns acidic land into fertile soil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It adds secondary nutrients, such as <strong>calcium or magnesium<\/strong> (essential for proper cell structure development), which are basic for the growth and flowering periods. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Also improves <strong>chlorophyll creation<\/strong>, helping plants with their photosynthesis process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Boosts <strong>microbiological activity,<\/strong> releasing nutrients towards the roots and improving their correct absorption.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increases substrate\u2019s<strong> NPK levels<\/strong> (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Counteracts the <strong>toxic impact<\/strong> of certain minerals, such as aluminum, iron, or manganese.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improves<strong> soil\u2019s structure<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increases the <strong>speed at which matter decomposes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stimulates the growth of <strong>roots, leaves, stems, and flowers.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It also acts as a<strong> natural fungicide<\/strong>, improving plants defenses against fungi, insects, or plagues in general.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Calcium_and_magnesium_source\"><\/span>Calcium and magnesium source<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although dolomite features all the properties previously mentioned, its main function is to <strong>add extra calcium and magnesium,<\/strong> two essential minerals for cannabis plants that <strong>facilitate photosynthesis<\/strong>,<strong> strengthen plants\u2019 cell walls,<\/strong> and <strong>improve nutrient absorption<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Calcium\"><\/span>Calcium<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s the mineral<strong> in charge of adding strength to the cell walls <\/strong>of the plant. It also promotes the development of roots, leaves, and flowers, as well as improving nutrient absorption. When plants lack this mineral, their leaves suffer burns and they stop growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, <strong>weak cell walls <\/strong>make it easier for plagues to invade the plants. Calcium deficiency reduces the yield as<strong> the buds will be smaller and<\/strong> <strong>weaker.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Magnesium\"><\/span>Magnesium<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Magnesium is <strong>essential for plants to perform photosynthesis,<\/strong> as it regulates the creation of photosynthesis.

Magnesium deficiency causes plants to suffer burns and <strong>lose their lovely green color. <\/strong>For this reason, soil pH has to always be between 5 and 7, as outside those parameters, <strong>it can&#8217;t absorb this mineral.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growbarato.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Montanas-de-dolomita-1024x683.jpg.webp\" alt=\"dolomite mountains\" style=\"width:600px;height:453px\" title=\"dolomite mountains\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_use_dolomite\"><\/span>How to use dolomite<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two ways of using dolomite.
