Ok so yeah definitely seeing a problem here, BAD batch of happy frog. First time in soil, just got a blue lab pen, Calibrated and checked, & my PH is reading 4.9-5.0 on my soil. What do I do to get that number up for seedlings, as well as treating 5 bags of soil entirely??

Dolomite lime will buffer the pH and bring it back up into a usable range(and add some cal/mag). It’s sold as Garden Lime in most garden centers for about $5. Make sure it’s dolomite lime and not hydrated lime. First thing you should do is amend your bags of soil with it since it needs time to break down. Add 2 tablespoons of lime per gallon of soil or about 1 cup per cubic foot. I’m not sure about adding any to the solo cups but I’d just transplant them to bigger pots after you lime the soil. I see you have Recharge also. I’d wet the soil with some of it after amending so the microbes can start breaking down the lime quicker.
