So i went to my garden center the other day, and ask the woman how to lower pH in the soil, she looked it up in this book and gave me some Hydrated Lime, and i read the directions and put a tablespoon in a gallon of water, and then seperated the contents into some empty water bottles, (cuz we all know u should but it in some sorta container. Well i add it yesterday and ive checked the pH of the soil today, and im wondering if its really gonna work, or is this gonna screw up my soil pH?? and how much should i mix into the soil to make sure it doesnt lower it too much.

Ps..lol im not gonna be an ass if no one really knows. but if u do know or have used it, i would appreciate some info. THx

A few variables will be controled by adding the lime first if you are useing soil.
Ok, now that i got the obvious out of the way.
The water method should work.
But if it where me; Organick (Yes folks see the decent into online persona insanity, i don't even grow pot) I would mix some with a high quality mulch (whitny farms, farmers planter mix{I flush the farmers first in onge gallon pots to get out the chemical nitrogen}) with the lime and add a VERY small amount each time i water (a pinch, four grains, look it up) untill the problem is solved, but in my case my soil is so active I add a little (very little) almost every time I water and feed untill six weeks to flower

The problem I see with the water method is that "tomato" soil is so active it may flucuate quickly. the mulch mix when watering (maybe a mild scratch-in) seems to mellow this out.

And now someone with an organic chemistry degree,.....
