you can however use hydro nutes in a soil medium as long as it is PH adjusted and the nute is compatible.
lemon juice in water is PH down.
baking soda in warm water is PH up.
LJ is 3ml to 1gallon to drop ~.5 PH
BS is ~1-1.5 TSP to raise ~.5 ph
DO NOT MIX BOTH!
i use a cheap PH tester from lowes.
the most accurate to use is a fish tank tester tho.
just dab a couple pool/aquarium strips in your tap water.
then add your nutes.
after that adjust your ph.
let stand for about a hour then check one last time.
if your tap PH is around the mid 6's through the mid 7's you should be alright.
but strive for a Ph around 7.
once you have adjusted you tap PH to ~7 you then do a runoff test.
you should just keep duming water on them till it pours out the bottom.
the dab a few testers in that water and see.
if you continue to use Ph 7 water the soil should straighten itself out.
best of luck.
