They haven’t fed anything but the Happy Frog charge.
How to raise the ph of my soil quickly.

After I read everything and looked at the pics I would guess low pH too.

I was reading that! It seems exactly like what i needed! Thank you!

Correct, just ph balanced water, and he checks the run off every time for lowered ppm, he said thats when he adds nutes. Not defending or assuming correctness, just explainin!

For sure, i just wondered if the co2 could lower the soil ph, weird i know but a thought!

I grow 4 at a time in bag soil.
I have never checked PH or PPM.
Almost 3 weeks into flower your plants cannot live healthily on just what’s left in the soil.
If your soil was full of salts I’d say flush it with a neutral PH.
But you haven’t given them any yet so unless your water is ridiculously acidic, I’m not inclined to think it’s PH.

Switch to growing in living soil. It's easier.

No happy frog is a living soil, it's more a style of growing. Just like nature. No bottled nutes.

And you were just talking about feeding chemicals to organic soil in another thread a few minutes ago, lol.

Look at the plant. If it doesn't look right then try to figure out what you've done to it. Attempting to adjust the pH of an entire container of medium with a living plant in it doesn't sound just a little foolish or ambitious to you?

Sounds like you obviously haven read that thread I posted, lol.
Just like Size, pH matters.

And your point is? There's a big difference between adding salt nutes to soil, vs checking ph runoff of organic based mediums. No need to be dogmatic here, nuance is the way.

You do know Firefox is a Web Browser right? Not really a growing medium.
And if you mean Fox Farms Ocean Forest, it doesn't have any dolomite in it. Oyster shell flour, lol.
Ingredients: Composted forest humus, sphagnum peat moss, Pacific Northwest sea-going fish emulsion, crab meal, shrimp meal, earthworm castings, sandy loam, perlite, bat guano, granite dust, Norwegian kelp, and oyster shell (for pH adjustment).

They’re using Happy Frog. It has dolomite lime, plus oyster shell.
Ingredients include composted forest humus, sphagnum peat moss, perlite, earthworm castings, bat guano, humic acid, oyster shells, and dolomitic lime for pH adjustment.
But it’s just a starter soil.
You need to feed it after the charge runs out.
A plant 3 weeks into flower plus whatever veg time it was in … the charge is nearing the end if not there already.

Give it a rest. You people get on a tangent and go nuts. You make simple shit complicated.
