don't use molasses as ph up. if your soil is limed, don't worry so much about ph of nutes.

yeah alot of organic soil nutes say not to ph them at all or you can mess up the micro life.... and the overall ph balancing and occurs as the nutes break down.

In organic soil these are ways to increase your ph without damaging your beni bacteria(you really want them!): dolomite lime(this may take up to three months for full effect/overdoing it will give you a cal/mag toxicity and more problems)/hardwood ash/bone meal/crushed marble or oyster shells/potassium hydroxide.....these all work but go easy and never let the ph get above 7.2 in soil.......good luck
