If you can avoid using lime it is greatly advised. Soil pH changes often depending on the nutrients you are using, the strength of those nutes, or ammendments added to the soil.
Best bet is to buy a pH meter and some pH up and pH down... this way you can adjust the nutrient solution before it enters the soil. By putting lime in the soil
you make consistant pH almost impossible. Since pH is so critical to growing cannabis, it's not something to be messed with.
Something else to consider is the fact that even if you figure out a good lime-to-soil-ratio, soils change from batch to batch and I wouldn't trust my crops pH to lime.

As for the copious amounts of lime you have added to your containers: flush like hell...yes they will droop and be pissed for a day or 3, but its best for them in the long run and will help clear up any deficiencies you may begin to see as a result of the pH being too high and blocking nutrient uptake. since you now have to buy a meter anyway to test your soil run-off, get some up/down while your at the ag shop. vinegar and baking soda are not the answer...yeah I know... more money...

hope this helps...
