lime is not needed,
,but if the run off is that low, just keep hittin it with the 7.0 water, and once your pH is in range, stay on top if it, and youll be fine man

i stopped at 5.9.
she had GALLONS of water, and i did add some lime, if shes no better health wise in a week, i might flush then flower, shes ready, i just want better health before i switch
Add the lime and forget all this other foolishness. 2tbl/gallon of mix, or 1cup/cf of mix. Best added to the mix before use, but you can top dress with it and regular waterings will work it in.
Just be sure it is NOT hydrated lime. Dolomite or Garden/Agricultural lime will work fine. Powdered/Ground is best, but pellets will be ok if that's all you can find.

ye if your soil was at the right ph to begin with then i would think you have a build of of nutes/salts in your soil causing the Low Ph, check the EC of your run off an if its high too then keep flushing till your run off is the same ph or as close as u can get it to what your putting in an u have a low EC reading, but if your soil was bad to begin with then ya you should prob ad some lime, just what i think im just a newbee
