Been having ph problems I guess its the first time, I added 2 tblsps of dololite lime per gallon. should it buffer the soil ph to 7 or less? How dose this dololite lime work? Got a ph pen but the glass prob broke . Iv been giving the water ph at 6.6-7.0 before prob broke.first time using happy frog with chunky perlit and dololite lime. some of my girls are yellow and probly dieing. Wat can I do

that sounds like a bit much to me, you really need a ph pen though and yea 6.5 - 7 is ok for your water, water wont change the ph of the soil much though, dunno what that soil is like but if its already treated with lime you should be ok ph wise, maybe something else is causing the yellow leaves

post pics of your sick ladies and info on your feeding and what not maybe someone help you better

Lime is ground up rock. It will work, but not overnight, or even in a few days.

Don't add any more. 2tbl/gallon is fine, now all you need to be is patient and let it work. Don't try 'fixing' it further.

I don't pH anything going in and just use tap water. The lime will take care of it.
