Ok so i recently discovered my soil was extremly acidic, probably due to the fact that the water in my place is rather acidic. To combat this ive been spiking the water with hardwood ash as i have a bountiful and free supply of it (it was recommended to me by a friend to help drop the pH of my soil.) So every 3 or 4 days whenever i go in to give my girl a drink ive just been mixing up a decent amount of ash into the water then watering it. Whats bugging me is that the drainage water is still testing to be very acidic, it may have shown some slight improvement but nothing near the levels i was hoping for. However the plant seems to be making a recovery so im confused as well as weary of continuing to attempt to make the soil more basic in the fear of ending up with soil thats entire too alkaline. Does anyone have any input? Im new to all of this still (this is my first attempt at a grow) and id really like some veteran input so i dont end up countering one noob mistake with another. Thanks for any help in advance.

the first picture is of the plant shortly before i started the ash treatment and the second is of it a day or so ago when i watered it last.

edit: ive trimmed off all the really bad looking stuff from the second picture, didnt want the plant wasting any energy on it.
