Is it their soil, or is it a peat based product? Please, when looking for help, provide details so we don't have to pry

If it is just soil, pH to 6.0-7.0. 6.5 is your target. If it's peat, 5.5-6.5. I stay right at 6.0 in my peat grows (Sunshine #4). Also, if it is soil, as you can see, dipping down to under a pH of 6.0 is out of range.
