Doloptil might be better if mixed at start and then the fine stuff if you have to add in with plants in the pots/containers

If you're going by the pH on that meter don't. Those are worthless for measuring pH. They are so inaccurate.

His may actually work better than mine. It just sits at the highest number and doesn’t move

I wouldn't trust it. The measurements change based on the moisture content of the soil or like you said they stay stuck.

All of this combined gave me the ph of 5 for the soil and the lime bag that I bought in the store today :the picture is up there ^ not the blue bag. The powder lime.
note: my 5 other plants are low on ph says the meter.( I know I’m buying the real one tomorrow) blue something is what it’s called lol - looks great so I am not stressing but the ph is low. So that’s why. It’s like 2-3ph
1 pot is all of them combined before transplanting so that’s why it looks smaller
It’s been waiting. Poor thing - pictures I just sprayed them and don’t give me shit I have. Blue light pic that’s shows them pointy after I fan dry them after spraying.
-Peat pots transfed to soil.
- last one is out peat pot in perfect ph 5 soil mix

That pH meter is not accurate. But go ahead and try and adjust the pH based off that thing. They're your plants.

Bluelab is a good one.
But I think you're too focused on the pH based off that other meter. None of the soils or fertilizer you used should require any significant pH adjustment. Don't fixate on pH runoff in soil and start chasing it. If you're plants look good don't go trying to fix problems that don't exist. Plants in soil can adapt to a range of pH and testing runoff isn't accurate either.

The only thing I see right now is my new tips growing are burning

I’m not worried so much about run off just the main thing like soil ph and nutrition.
