A couple quick questions. How much lime would I need to mix in if I were using a 100 gallon container? And secondly, since the Lime is supposed to buffer the ph to 6.5 do I even need to bother PHing the water I give the outside plant?

I just water straight rom the tap, I didn't seem to have any issues. Also used rain water that I collected half the time.

As an indoor guy, not PHing the water is crazy to me!

and yes, don't bother unless you're using really strong nute solution
