I been searching around but maybe i just cant find it.
Whats the best way to lower my soils PH from 8.0 to 6.5?
MG Organic and MG Potting soil
 
I've found the MG Organic to be pretty acidic(it was MG Organic Garden soil).
Not sure about the potting mix ph.
I'm a great do it your selfer, but the best way seems to be with the product Ph Down
I think there are 2 version, 1 for veg(contains nitric acid) and 1 for flower(contains phosphoric acid).
 
i added pulverized lime, its suppose to help balance the ph, im just stuck on how much per 8" rounds
 
use domolite Lime to help level/correct ph in soil. Ph digital meter 6.5 water and nuts. should improve everything. I'd suggest ocean forest soil b/c it has all the nuts for veg. comes in correct ph and helps keep knats and other problems away....as well as freakin forest green leaves and major growth...like a pro...just water correctly and let it dry out a bit.
 
i googled domolite lime cant find where to get the stuff? is it a liquid i mix in with there water? or is it something i put ontop of there soil?
 
Dolomite is great stuff(most nurseries have it), but it's best mixed into the soil when preparing your soil. May not help much as a dressing. And it may not lower ph much(if at all) used that way.
 
Soil Mix
Seedling thru 3 wks or clones- 1 gal. OF / 1 gal. light warrior / 1/2 gal. Perlite / 2 tbsp. domalite lime per gal. soil

3 wks. on - 2 gals. OF / 1/2 gal. Perlite / 2 tbsp. domalite lime per gal. soil
