6.8 pH water goes in, 5.0-ish pH water drains out.

Soil is 70% Sunshine Mix #1, 30% Perlite.

Remedies: dolomite lime? flush? help? Thanks :)

pulverized dolomitic lime will help regulate your PH in soil. add 2 tbs. per 10 lbs./16 qts.
...hope this helps...

The quickest way to fix, would be to go to a hydro or fish store and pick up some pH up and set your water a little higher to fix the low pH. I would set to 7-7.5, feed, flush then test.
