Earth Juice pH

Hey all I'm using earth juice for the first time, catalyst, micro, grow, bloom, in addition to hi-brix molasses and hygrozyme. I'm having a really tough time with the pH, my tap water comes in at 7.0 and after adding 1/4th strength nutrients to a gallon the water is 3.4-3.5. I keep reading that EJ corrects this in the soil, however I'm definitely seeing nutrient lockouts. I have made some pH up with potassium hydroxide equal parts 100g water 100g KHO, and then added that to a gallon of water. Added a few milliliters of the pH up solution and the pH remains unchanged... I'm worried about excess K from the pH up causing lockouts, and am feeling very conservative with the pH up.

What am I doing wrong here? Earth Juice is proving to be quite a hassle.

1. Bubble it EJ longer. ~the third day, the pH will rise

2. Dolomite lime in your mix will take care of the pH. 1cup/cf of mix or 2tbl/gallon of mix. Even low pH EJ will be taken care of.

I don't pH anything, nor have I checked pH in over 2 years. The dolo takes care of it all.

Yeah after flushing and then watering with 1/4th strength nutes the flowers are really fucking popping! I used 1tbl/gallon but I think they're looking a lot better, bud development has picked up and they're definitely beefing up.
