I've had the same problems in the past with Roots...I ended up adding about 2 CUPS of lime to a 10Q pot to try to correct...ultimately the plant grew some GREAT bud, but died off pre-maturely so it didn't produce very much and it was very light and fluffy. Potency and smell were out of this world, so if you're okay just chalking this up as a loss, I'd say douse it with lime and just kinda let it do it's thing.

Whenever I use that bagged soil, I always treat it HEAVILY with calcium supplements like lime and oyster shell flour, then treat heavily for gnats with neem cake/meal. You gotta let it sit and break down for 30 days then it should be a LOT closer in pH and be mostly bug free. Straight outta the bag, it's my experience that it's usually way off, unfortunately.
