got a Milwaukee ph meter, was giving them 8.0.... found that 100% lime juice works well as a PH DOWN, is this ok to use????? or do i have to buy some Down? anyone?

Lime or lemon will do it. You could also try vinegar.
- 2 tbs white vinegar to 1 gal h2o
or
- ¼ tbs lemon/lime juice to 1 gal h2o

Use to flush. Use the whole bottle. Do it only once, wait 24 hours - recheck soil pH. If soil pH is still not below 7, repeat, if below 7 don't.

This works well, ive tried it. [tho it wasn't thereal problem]

About 2 BIG lemons per gallon. if small, 3 or even 4. But be careful, test it first, dont want to over do it either.
