Lime to raise ph I feed seedlings

[Dayday1997]

What if I feed my seedlings with a couple drops of lime and will it stop bacteria for which means bad for roots they won’t root up right possibly? Don’t have ph I’ve just been feeding they’re starting their 1st week seedling

A seedling has everything it needs for the first 2 weeks. No reason to feed a seedling. If your seedling doesn't root, I don't think spraying it with anything will make it root.

Dolomite lime will raise the pH. LIME (the citrus fruit) will lower the pH

Yeah, man. Those roots look very healthy.

Just for the record....Citrus fruits like lemons and limes and grapefruits and oranges, etc...all contain citric acid. Acids lower pH. Yes, people have used citrus fruit to organically lower the pH. Other growers use the pH "UP" and pH "Down" solutions when they are needed. Marijuana likes the pH to be in the 6.0-7.0 range.

But, yeah, the roots in the pix look very healthy, so whatever is working for you, keep doing it!
