Please Help!

I can make a simple recipe with black peat 70% perlite 30% and add to that 1tbsp of epsoma dolomite lime per gallon?

This will work?
 
Soilless is not hydro, and every soilless mix I have seen in the US has lime mixed in to stabilize the pH, usually around 5.7. That's where soilless seems to be designed to be. If you have slurry tested your mix and it comes out at 7, toss it outside or put a house plant in it.

And in my experience, any medium with lime buffering can be used without worrying about the pH of your nutrients for at least one grow. Maybe more depending on your water. If you want to pH your water, aim for 5.7 - 6.0 for peat.

I don't know how much lime to use to buffer your home made recipe, but you can try making this mix if you can find the ingredients:
 
The problem with my current plants, is that i transplant them from the 7.1 soil into the 2 new soils i got, the plagron light and the compo sana. 2 days passed until now so i guess im going to see changes after 3-4 days when the roots start taking the new mix of soil.
 
something is not right definetely. let me take a photo of 2 plants i have, sprouted above soil on the 1/1/20, so they are in the 19th day today. 1 minute

These products should set them in a rapid start i think
