I have 20 plants that I have been vegging since december indoors for the outdoor season.. I bought soil from a reputable broker that I had done biz with before.. I used the soil to fill 4x4x4 holes I dug and tilled.... Now here is the issue I went to drop my 8 foot tall or bigger plants in the ground last week and tested the PH the day I was putting them in the ground... 4.1 WTF!!!! so I added 10 lbs dolomite lime to each hole with basically no change, Then 10 pounds oyster flour, I had a small change 4.9 now... The I attacked it with hydrated lime and that put me up to about 5.1 in some spots.... Now a week later its at about 4.7 again.... what more can I do... I have 20 monster 8 ft or better plants sitting in 20 gallon grow bags in my back yard peeking over my niehbors fence...

What can I do to the soil now to raise the ph within a few days.. I am desperate...

Mybe watering with PH up if so what ph should water be to counter the low ph now...




Please I need suggestions

Tap water is 7.1... ppm 52-60 we have good water here. What if I replaced half the soil with premium soil like fox farms and doused it with ph 7.5 water.. Would the acidity in the current soil ruin the fox farm.... I need to get this resolved. I have over 20k invested in this and I cant sleep lol

I seriously have 8-10 foot plants that are hitting the top of my greenhouse. I have been supercropping them and have already had to put 3 in my backyard(very scary considering DA neihbor)

yea, if your in that much of a hurry I would consider replacing all the soil and starting fresh.
