Do I need to add dolomite lime to Sunshine Mix #4 when growing soilless?

[ReprobateMind]

I would like to grow using nothing but Sunshine Mix #4, Pure Blend Pro Grow, Liquid Karma, Calmag+, and Pure Blend Pro Bloom (Soil), i.e., I will not be amending the SS#4 and only feeding with bottled nutes. NOTE: this is regular Sunshine Mix #4 and NOT the Advanced version.

My questions are:

1. Do I need to add dolomite lime to the SS#4 to offset the acidity of the peat. If so, how much per gallon of SS#4?
2. What do I pH my water and nutes to? Recall, this is a soilless mix and not a soil mix.
3. Do I need to add perlite to the SS#4 for more drainage?

Thanks

No and lose those ferts and get some jacks pro 20-20-20 use at 1\2 tsp per gallon tap water.

Thanks for responding, and I'm not trying to be a dick, but that doesn't answer my questions.

Sure, but I already have PBP Grow, PBP Flower (Soil), LK, CM+, and SS#4. I want to work with what I already have.

Good luck.
I have been using the ss mix for a long time just trying to save you some pain.

Doesn't it already have dolomite lime?

Yes, but I read that it runs out so people have been adding more to it so they can complete their grows. I was wondering if anyone here had experience using it.
