Soiless Ph 5.8 Or 6.5

  1. As the title says is Soilless mixes meant to be kept at what optimal level. 5.8 or 6.5??

    I am running into some problems with my current grow. I am sure is a Ph lockout due to high levels. Water in 6.5 and runoff is 6.9. The dolomite i added is keeping it fixed around 7.

    I understand this is high for but thought after a few waterings it would come down. I made the mix myself consisting of 50%peat 30% perlite and 20% vercimilite. I read online the ph should be kept like soil but i am thinking now it should be kept at 5.8 like hydro.

    The 7 plants are fucked. I did manage to take 20 clones and are in straight perlite at the moment. I just want to confirm what PH i should keep them at before i put them in their pots. Really confused as there is a lot of conflicting info online. Seems people are running both but they cant both be right.And if 1 is wrong why arent they running into these problems too?
