pH issues....

So I have figured out that one of the only issues I have with my plant is pH. It keeps swinging too far into alkaline. Used a touch of vinegar, but from what I'm reading that seems to be pretty temporary. I'm growing in 1/2 organic based, and the other half Scott's with perlite. Using jobe's organics for nutes. I'm looking for a slightly more long term to fix this pH

I'm getting plenty of runoff, not sure exact ph measurements, since she's outside. After watering (with ph'd water), the spoil ph read 6.7. Before it was at 7.2.

you can add some dolomite lime to the top of the soil, or mulch, and worm castings. A PH of 7.2 on a organic outside plant is not that bad. The ground outside my house is 7.8 The more organics you have the higher the ph can go.

Well that's good to know. I'm still learning my way through. Thanks for the tip.I wouldn't be to concerned but my plant appears to be a bit unhappy, and ph is the only thing that seems out of whack.
