Raising soil pH : (to make it more alkaline)
It is generally easier to make soil mixes more alkaline than it is to make them more acidic. The addition of dolomite lime, hardwood ash, bone meal, crushed marble, or crushed oyster shells will help to raise the soil pH.

In soil: add dolomite limestone to the soil; use small amounts of hydrated lime.
Raising hydroponic pH : (to make it more alkaline)
In hydroponics: use potassium silicate, provides silicon at an effective doseage.
In bioponics/hydro-organics: add small amounts of sodium bicarbonate or lime.
Lowering soil pH : (to make it more acidic)
If your soil needs to be more acidic, sawdust, composted leaves, wood chips, cottonseed meal, leaf mold and especially peat moss, will lower the soil pH.

bloodmeal/cottonseed meal during vegetative; bonemeal during flowering.
Lowering hydroponic pH : (to make it more acidic)
In hydroponics: use nitric acid during vegetative; phosphoric acid during flowering.

Stabilizing pH with Dolomite lime
The best way to stable PH is by adding 1 ounce of Dolomite Lime per 1 gallon of planting soil.
, Earth Juice Micro Blast is good, so is Cal-Mag or Mag-i-cal (use these as per their labels). Or seaweed extract (used at 1/2 the recommended strength).
), so after we let the soil get good and dry we changed the next feeding. This what the plant got...
). What do you guys think? This came on real fast too. The first pics are of my really bad plant and this is only from a week or so of showing. The last ones are of WW starting to show signs. I know I didn't nip this problem in the "bud" (har har) sooner than I should of, but I'm in the shit now. Just hoping that they don't die on us!
