Low ph runoff - Raise? - Hydrated Lime question

Just tested the runoff of my Trainwreck (my biggest plant) and after drenching it with 1 1/2 gallons (it's a real bitch to get some runoff out of a 7 gallon felt pot) the runoff was 5.1.

I bought some hydrated lime suggested by another person on here earlier.

How should I apply it to the plants and how much per gallon? Also how much of the water should I give to the plants?

Plants are 2 months old. Started from seed in Roots Organic soil. Still vegging under 600 hps

I just watered my Trainwreck with 1ml cal mag, .5ml superthrive, 1ml hygrozyme, 3ml botanicare pureblend grow - ph was 6.5

Should I wait a few days and let it dry before applying the lime?

1 . lime and lemon juice LOWERS the ph . 2 don't waste your time checking the runoff ph . unless you have a serious issue and check every thing else or like me I want to know how hard I can push the potassium right before my plants dye in late flower . so just ph the water and don't worry about soil run off . there is no need .

I was having other issues found here in this thread that someone suggested checking the ph of my runoff -

ok under stand . give us a pic of the issues . close up . from the pic I see they look great.

All the info on it can be found in the link in my above post. As well as the info and feed back.

Went with the hydrated lime idea.

Says it raises ph

ok. I thought you were talking organic lime juice . like what you can cook with . because the lowers the ph. the key ingredient is lime stone . in that stuff . it will do what it says.

So back to my original question how should I apply this and the dosage per gallon and how much water per plant?

And does me watering my trainwreck effect when I should give it the lime?

read how to use that stuff . basically its a ph up for your water . so again if your water ph is 6.5 no need to worry about the soil ph. because lets say the ph was a problem In the soil and some hot shot farmer said ok I will just raise the ph of my water to hmmmmm 8.0 and this will raise the soil ph. problem solved right ? well mr farmer did not tell .the plant that it was not expose to drink the higher ph water . because over ph water will lock the plant out of nutrients . and doing so basically fixed the ph issue in the soil that was not an actual problem for the plant . but when doing soil the plant dyed . how are you going to keep the plants ph in check when adding higher then normal ph water ?
