so I just fed my plant with earth juice bloom... little grow and botanica cal-mag.... had the solution ph up to around 6.8.... run off came off to acidic... less than 6 probably around 5... cant 100% tell cause my ph test strips has the chart from 5.8 to 8.2 color wise and its bellow the 5.8... now im growing a think different auto and im around day 47.... i might be flushing my plants again since ph of soil seems to low... now could flush with 8 gallons of tap water then on the last 2 gallons use distilled water? and im planning on buying some dolomite lime today to add to the soil when flushing... should i add it in on the last gallon of water when im flushing? and what can i do for the dolomite to work fast? I have around 3-4 weeks left of flowering and need to fix my ph of my soil fast

thanks
 
Raise your intake waters ph higher until the runoff comes out at least over 6,6.5 is optimal.

should i add water to it along with dolomite lime? and would adding a higher ph water wash down all the nutes?
 
As Namvet said Ajust your feed (water and nutes) higher to around 7.0 or 7.5 for 1-2 feed and keep checking your run off when it starts to climb then reduce the PH going in back down a tad:five:

yea I will do that on my next watering but its been around 12-13 hours since i fed it with the water and nutes... should i wait for the soil to dry then do that or do it now? just dont want to over-water and cause more problems/root rot
 
and also should i add the dolomite lime? ive been reading alot of good stuff about to so i was thinking of buying a bag of it today
