To lower ph: acetic and citric acid will facilitate the "kreb" cycle.

To raise ph: add small amounts of sodium bicarbonate or lime.

so would mixin lime juice with the soil suffice to raise the ph?

Doobster go buy a ph kit. I got that message directly from the Ganja Gods. Do not question that or root rot and powdery mildew will plague you.

also, if you buy water, don't assume it's ph is good. i got some store bought water (local generic) and it's ph was around 7.2, a little high for me.
