I am having the same problem as this guy, should I add lime or just continue to water with the proper ph. I am using fox farms ocean forest with added perlite.
5.5 ph run off, what ph water do I need?

If you add lime directly to your soil now you will kill them. Water with your ph'd water and move on. Do not over fert with the OF either. Just let the soil do its thing.

*Are you ACTUALLY seeing a problem, or just chasing a magical "perfect" number?
*What's your grow medium and what are you feeding?
Threads like this are how most pH problems start, not how they get resolved...
If your pH says 5.5 and your plants are healthy, don't do a damned thing. Cannabis is very adaptable...

Did you pull that BS out of your ass?
I've GROWN stuff in 100% crushed limestone. Drainage sucked, but it didn't kill anything.
Don't spout shit that you don't know anything about.

Can somone give me a pointer here on lowering my ph runofff, There are so many contradicting statements, im not sure what to do.
Thank you
Thank you
Add the lime, 1cup/cf or 2tbl/gallon of mix.
Dolomite or Calcitic, Just NOT hydrated. You can find either at HD or Lowes. Give it a couple of weeks to start working.
I have not used my pH meter in close to 2 years. I HAVE used lime for close to 40 years.
