Just picked up a 50lb bag of hydrated lime for $8. Here are the stats from the bag. Magnesium Oxide 28% Elemental Magnesium 17% Calcium Oxide 41% Elemental Calcium 29% I'm going to be making my first batch of 50/50+ mix and I want to make sure this calcium carbonate is ok.

Big no-no on the magnesium content, unfortunately. Just do a subforum search on it.

Well, there are various mentions of retardation of pin growth, but there's no actual solid evidence.
Go ahead and use it, and report how it turns out.

Mg higher than 3% has a negative effect on growth.

All of these pins came after it got contaminated. Debated on whether or not to toss it but decided to keep it in an unused martha stewart closet. Its chilling there with no lid and only an ultrasonic humidifier thats turned on for a little while a couple times a day.
