ok i bought my own ph meter and ph up and down turns out my friends meter was very inaccurate... my soil is somewhere around 7-7.4 (i have an analogue meter) my question now is how do i get the ph of my soil down to 6.5?
You need to do it gradually as to not shock the plant any more. Every increment of .1 in pH means 10X more acidic/alkaline. So water that is 6.7 is 100 times more acidic than water that is 6.9. You should test the water you were giving it to find out what pH the plant is getting used to and give it slightly lower than that. Keep dropping the pH of the water you give it until you get it to 6.5.
I wouldn't add any nutes to the water until you get the soil to 6.5 because it will just be locked out anyways and result in accumulation of salts.
