I bought some pelletized lime because my runoff is at 5.5 PH. How much do I use? Will this cause my PPM to be to high in the soil?

Use it very carefully. Crush the lime. Im not sure on measurements but crush it good and use a lil less that what gets recomended.

Are you growing in soil ? If so use dolomite or agricultural limestone/lime. 2 teaspoons to each gallon of water and water it in from the top of the soil as you normally would. you could see improvement within 4 days or so.
