i ended up buying girl scout cookies from a place called I49 in ft lauderdale , fla. 10 seeds $40, but i have a problem maybe you can answer, i got two bags of fox farms happy frog soil, right out of the bag the ph was 5.4, so i added some soil ph up (

Earth Science Fast Acting Lime - (5lb) Instantly Raise pH of Soil )​

last week. the soil is in a 40 gallon tote, i put one bag in(12 quarts) and mixed it really good added water, distilled, till the moisture content was 15 %, checked ph and it was 6.5, everyday i checked and it slowly went up to 7.5. , so yesterday i added the other 12 quart bag(ph of 5.4) and mixed it up really good, did slurry test and it was 6.5, today i did another slurry test and its up to 6.8. besides buying fox farms soil what am i doing wrong ? thanks george of the jungle
I49 has some good seed. I've grown their stuff before.

My promix is prob >5 outta the bag. Once watered dolomite in the mix buffers my medium.

You should treat your soil the same. Like Jan said. Plant it an quit worrying about all this soil prep stuff. Ph fluctuates all the time as the plants grow.

Once ya use all that FF I'd consider going to peat and Jack's to keep things simple. Ya won't be worrying about things so much..lol.
