I've found the MG Organic to be pretty acidic(it was MG Organic Garden soil).
Not sure about the potting mix ph.
I'm a great do it your selfer, but the best way seems to be with the product Ph Down
I think there are 2 version, 1 for veg(contains nitric acid) and 1 for flower(contains phosphoric acid).

use domolite Lime to help level/correct ph in soil. Ph digital meter 6.5 water and nuts. should improve everything. I'd suggest ocean forest soil b/c it has all the nuts for veg. comes in correct ph and helps keep knats and other problems away....as well as freakin forest green leaves and major growth...like a pro...just water correctly and let it dry out a bit.

Dolomite is great stuff(most nurseries have it), but it's best mixed into the soil when preparing your soil. May not help much as a dressing. And it may not lower ph much(if at all) used that way.
