Yeah Id avoid the lime once the plant is in the soil.Kinda like when planting grass side.you lime 2 weeks in advance so the shock doesnt kill new roots.Id go with the ph down from like a pool store or walmart get your water down to 5.5 with nutes( add nutrients first then adjust) and try that for a few eeks and keep testing the soil and see if that helps.Your soil shouldnt go up unless your adding the culprit to the soil.once its bakanced keeo watre with nutes aroun 5.5 to 6 or in that close are if yu go above 6.3 your getting high again..
