both will lower, but lime will lower more cuz of the higher acidity

you're thinking of lime the mineral, which is calcium carbonate (or other oxides of calcium). those are indeed alkaline (basic) and will raise the pH, but I wouldn't use it for cannabis. lime the fruit is acidic as it contains citric acid, as mentioned above.

Yep, CaCO3, it's the same stuff in egg shells. It disassociates in water and you get an extra OH ion as opposed to an extra hydronium ion, so it will heighten pH.
