Plants are not looking bad but ph is starting to go up since last week. Plants are almost 1 month old. Thanks.

becareful when u use lime on a living plant. lime+water equals heat this stuff can burn u because its so
alkaline :P
so that means by adding lime you're ph will go up. on the other hand
acids will bring your ph down. ive never had a problems with my soil being to alkaline...ive only had the opposite problem.
but there are options.
i'm not sure what the best way to bring organic soil down is. maybe watering your plant with cold coffee? putting a few drops of sulfuric acid with water in a watering pot? (not a metal one tho) or maybe trying to flush it out with water.
if someone has a better knowledge of organics please continue or correct where my post leaves off-
hope this at least stops u from adding lime before u kill your plants.
