OOPS!!! Now what do I do?

Last night I made some 5-1-1, 4-2-1 and 3-2-1 with pine fines (aged soil conditioner) I thought was Ph adjusted, potted up 2 Cuphea 'Vermillion', 2 Salvia Guaranitica 'Black and Blue', a band pot grafted Juniper, and a band pot grafted Picea orientalis 'Silver Seedling' (Spruce).

I actually did put some lime in when I made 1st half of the mix a few weeks ago and instead of peat I used some Ph adjusted bagged potting mix I got dirt cheap (ugh!, sorry!) a while back.

I had to make more to finish the job and did not put any lime in the 2nd half of the mix, and did not want to put lime in at the time I was potting them up.

I checked soil conditioner the bag this morning and saw nothing about being Ph adjusted, and a quick email to the manufacturer confirmed it was straight pine fines and was NOT adjusted.

I'm thinking they'll be OK, because of the lime in the first batch and in the "Gardeners Gold" soil instead of peat.

Any opinions or advice?
