Hey SP, I would top dress the soil with some Powdered Dolomite Lime. I use 1 tablespoon per gallon of soil. You might want to give this a try. Good Luck, RB

wood ash is a great ph up mix with water to ph 8 and flush with that lots of that. water with that and gradually your ph will come up but keep the mix of ash and water under ph 8. REMEMBER changing ph in soil takes time and flushing with too high a ph will result in a burn with out raising the ph of the soil significantly.

Do you have a PH meter?....looks like they are cooked..please elaborate more on the grow conditions..ph of water in and out..room temps and humidity....what if any insect control used...,,,happy frog by itself will not cause this,,i'll bet anything you whoopsed PH and the fluctuation is doing it

Maybe your beneficial count in the soil is really low. Do you ammend with beneficials? It will raise the pH a lot. At least in teas it does..

Just curious if y'all could elaborate as to what those are solving? I figure the lime for cal and soil buffer? Roots Oregonism for a root/fungal issue? Whats your RH at?
