Also... what about dolomite lime or sulfer products? Thanks for your time...
You can't use the pH down for the jacuzzi. If you had to use something easy to get, try apple cider vinegar. Lime raises pH. Never tried using soil sulfer.
Dorje113 Reviewed by Dorje113 on . soil ph too high I am using an organic soil consisting of Kellogg Patio Plus mixed with 25% perlite in 5 gallon containers. I just transplanted my plants about two weeks ago & I have noticed that I cannot get my ph lower than 7.5. my plants were doing fine until a few days ago I noticed that they were not thriving any longer. in fact they are showing signs of mg and maybe zinc defs. I added some epsom salt to help but I understand that if the ph is off then lockout is the likely culprit. Its too late to remix Rating: 5
