Roots Organic Formula 707 pH issues

[purpleskunk777]

Just bought 3 CF of this stuff. The runoff comes off at less than 6 w/ water going in pH'd at 7! Good thing I haven't used the soil yet...

Dolomite lime doesn't seem to be working for raising the pH, even when hydrated. I'd hate to throw away this soil but looks like I might have to. Any suggestions in how to elevate the pH to make it suitable for growing??

Ain't nothin' wrong with that. I'd use it. 707 is a bag of soil at pH 6? Sounds good to me.

I was just being stupid and didn't add enough lime, that's all! Yes, I overdosed on my medicine once again :rasta:

Just planted a new strain called 'Ron Burgundy' (lol) in it. Seems to be working great so far :thumbsup:
