I have this plant with Scotts soil and perlite 30%.

I'm testing my runoff water and the pH is around 6.0 so i figured i'll raise my pH water to 8.0 and then i'll have my pH adjusted but the runoff is still 6.0 range. Are there any other solutions besides using a new soil? Or should I raise the water pH to like 9.0? Right now i'm running out of options. I'm raising the pH with this 8.2 fishtank up thing. and for each scoop of that stuff will boost the pH of 10 gallons to 8.2ish
