For soil, anywhere 5.8 to 6.8.calcium = milk
would it be helpful?

Aim for about 6.3.

What the hell is going on in this forum. Take a chemistry class. It is called dolomitic lime and it is a magnesium calcium compound. Don't ever add sugar or milk to your soil to fix fertilizer problems. The above pH ranges are correct. What are we making ice cream here? There is a scale of salts (no not table salts) called electrical conductivity. It is international. Learn about it. Google it. And don't go above .8 EC during veg and you will be fine. Flush with pH nutrient solution of .2 EC and your girls will be okay hopefully. They are not going to produce well but they might finish. Come on.

Sugar will not solve your problem. The sugars feed the microorganism, which in turn break down your macro molecule compost components, which in turn become accessible in elemental form to the plants. It looks like you are feeding fertilizer that is already ready for plant consumption. Don't necessarily need sugar. There is an argument for feeding mycorrhiza, but the plant don't need more phosphorus. They need correct pH and less fertilizer. NEVER add milk as pH up. Baking soda is the poor man's base. Get pH up and down. The are stable acid and base that you add to water to change the pH after adding fertilizer.
