Hey bro, you should use roughly 1tbsp of lime per gallon, or I use 1 gram of lime per litre of soil if that helps at all.
I just top dressed my plant because I suspect low pH too. It will take up to 2 weeks to raise your pH, you can lightly foliar feed until then but if everything looks ok don't worry so much. Try to work it in gently with a small fork or something, help it get to work quicker.
Peace.
Thanks man really greatful to you my friend. I couldnt work out why i'd have a low ph runoff, but then even tho i never fed my plants apart from what was already in the soil i noticed salt build up at the drainage holes in my pots. I never had given them a flush (not a full flush) what i mean is just flood the pot and leave drain out (leeching?) Dont know if i spelt that right? Ive had to give my plants a full flush because my pots were full of nutes (as the soil had loads in the multi compost i used) my runoff looked like tea instead of being clear like youtube vidoes on flushing show you. I flushed with a load of ph'd water and then at the end i feed it to replace everything that was flushed out.
