    the only water i can use is distilled water with a ph of 5.5, i found out that this is lowering the ph of my soil after time. so the only way i can think of raising the ph of my soil is mixing 1/8 tsp of dolomite lime to 2qt of water, which evens the ph of the water to 7.0 im wondering if i water with this mixture will the ph of my soil eventually go up? should i water with the dolo mix every other watering? what do you pros think of this? i also thought that maybe if i put a fine layer of dolo lime on top of the soil and watering it might help too, but i havent done that. what you guys think eh? let me know peace.

    im no pro but if restoring your soil ph is the goal here id say use that shit every watering until your golden again. no use alternating every other watering and making more schedule type things to remember. just my 2. good luck man. edit:
