Hi all, needing some help getting my soils PH under control. what I have is outdoor, 3 15gal pots, sunshine, MG Natures care organic potting mix mixed 50/50ish with Promix HP, I'm new. From searching the web there is no slow release nutes in it just organic stuff anyways I'm watering with water PH'ed to 6.5-6.7 and getting run off of 5.2-5.5. I've already added a top dressing of Dolomite Lime, this is only 2nd time watering with the top dressing. I'm thinking my run off should be in the mid 6's right ? Any advice or opinions for a new grower would be great

The soil actually performs better at a slight gradient. And it starts displaying that more as the pot size increases beyond 3 or 5 gallons. If you are really worried about it, then start putting water that has a pH of 7 or 7.2 and see if the run off changes over the next couple of waterings, but if the plant isn't showing signes of pH problems then I wouldn't mess with it, if it were me.
